Here’s why you should purchase cyber liability insurance:
You Can’t Afford a Lack of Protection
A single cyber incident can cost your organizations millions of dollars in recovery expenses, business interruption costs and legal fees, which – without an insurance policy in place – could cause financial devastation.
Cyber Attacks are Common
Don’t assume that cyber incidents are a rare occurrence. According to the Verizon 2020 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR), 28% of cyber-attacks target small businesses. As cyber criminals become increasingly sophisticated and organizations continue to digitize key business operations, data breaches have become a top threat – making cyber insurance all the more critical.
Coverage is a Contractual Requirement
Many clients, vendors and suppliers include cyber insurance as a requirement in contractual agreements. In other words, securing cyber insurance is crucial to maintain your supply chain and ensure solid customer relationships.
Noncompliance Can be Costly
In the event that you violate state, federal, or international data protection laws, the associated fines or penalties can be astronomical. In California, for example, the maximum penalty for intentional violations of the CCPA is $7,500. Other violations lacking intent are subject to the preset $2,500 maximum fine.
