Why Do I Need Cyber Insurance?

But I have business insurance...

Unfortunately, not all standard business insurance policies cover cyber events like data breaches, ransomware, and business email compromise, or the expenses associated with them. It's important to understand what coverage is included in a cyber insurance policy so you can be sure to choose the one that best fits your business needs.

I'm a pretty small company, I think I can risk it.

We wish it was that easy! 64% of small to medium-sized businesses surveyed reported suffering a cyber attack. What's worse? Less than 2% believe the attack had no impact on their business. Most common hurdles after an attack? Money, time/effort, and data loss.
