What is Cyber Insurance?
The insurance industry has not always embraced innovation. For a business whose products are inherently complex, it’s a difficult position to defend – especially for cyber insurers. Darkside has partnered with Cysurance, who developed a simple, technology – enabled platform offering all the coverages a growing business needs for one low price.
Cyber insurance covers online and IT-related exposures created by cloud computing, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, online commerce, mobile devices social media and more. And since 60% of small businesses shut down within 6 months of a cyber-attack, a cyber insurance policy may prove invaluable.
The Growing Market & Need For Cyber Insurance
A ransomware attack can be initiated by any of your employees (including Janice from accounting), from any endpoint, anywhere in the world and cripple your systems in seconds. Having a Cysurance Complete policy in place won’t prevent an attack or hack, and it’s not meant as a replacement for the policies, procedures & controls you’re meant to have in place.
We also understand that not every online attack is preventable. So if your cybersecurity defenses fail somehow, we will take care of the aftermath like paying for all the stuff that you really don’t expect, like paying a ransom and restoring your computers.
A process designed to set risk management and risk transfer parameters to ensure recovery in the event of a compromise.
