Cyber Insurance Alberta
A cyber attack comes in many forms. As a business owner you need to be prepared because cyberattacks or threats can happen at any time to a company of any size or type.
What is a cyberattack?
A cyberattack is an attack or a threat either to steal or damage your data. Data can be in the form of your personal information, or the personal information of your clients, employees, suppliers, third parties, or even trade secrets and confidential information. Cyberattacks also include incidents where there is unauthorized installation of malware, denial of service, information theft, or dubious trading of your client information.
Cyberattacks have increased of late due to a surge in advanced technology, network damages and the tendency of people to work remotely using software, or devices that do not have the required virus protection.
What is the need for cyber insurance?
The need for cyber insurance arises due to increased incidents of cyberattacks and the inadequacy of a traditional business liability insurance plan to cover cyber activity.
In a cyberattack there is no theft of a physical asset, there are no doors, windows or cabinets smashed or broken, yet your business has still been ransacked and data compromised with. Since the majority of insurance companies only offer business insurance policies that cover physical assets, but not virtual property such as data or installed software, the need to create a space that can protect you and your business in the event that your data or network infrastructure is compromised with has never been more important.
