Data Breach Insurance

Large or small, a Cyber attack can have severe consequences for business owners. The more we rely on technology in day to day life and for the running of our businesses, the higher the importance becomes to protect yourselves from digital threats.

Implementing digital and cyber security measures can help try to prevent an attack happening, but what do you do if you suffer a breach and sensitive data is stolen? The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport estimates that a business could run up costs of around £4000 if a breach were to happen.

That's where Cyber Liability Insurance comes in.

Types of Cyber attack your business could face

Types of Cyber attack your business could face

No matter the size of your business, covering your cyber liability is a priority. If you hold any client data or have any digital interaction both internally and externally, you face the possibility of falling victim to these types of cyber attacks. 

Malware & Ransomware

Probably the most common type of Cyber attack, malware and ransomware infect computers in order to steal confidential information. Ransomware is a version of malware that stops users being able to access their computer until a 'ransom' payment is paid.

Phishing

Almost everyone has come across a phishing email scam sent to their personal email. Hackers send authentic looking emails to their victims, attempting to dupe them into handing over personal information. Businesses are also susceptible to this type of attack.

Advanced persistent threat

This type of attack is very intricate and involves stealing small pieces of information over a long period of time in order to avoid detection.

DDos (Direct Denial of Service)

Denial of Service cyber attacks are mostly aimed at large companies. Hackers aim to shut down the systems or website of their intended target. 

Man in the middle

In this kind of attack, hackers impersonate a business or a customer in order to gain sensitive information.

Password attacks

Also known as a Brute-force attack, this is where hackers use an advanced trial and error method to figure out secure passwords, gaining access to databases, accounts and other sensitive information.
