Protect your business against the emerging threats of the digital age.

What is Cyber Insurance?

Cyber Insurance is used to protect businesses from risks relating to information technology infrastructure and activities. Risks of this nature are not catered for and even excluded under traditional liability and property policies.

Cyber-risk is an exposure that no modern business can escape, and the financial impact of system interruption, privacy breaches and ransom attack are now felt within all industries.

Cyber-liability provides cover in the event of a security breach which could take various forms that exist in the modern, technology environment where so many businesses are reliant on their IT systems.
