Cyber Liability Insurance: An Essential and Urgently Needed Business Investment
Overview:
Cyber Liability Insurance is a relatively new product that is developing rapidly due to increasing frequency and sophistication of cyber-attacks. Stricter regulation and enforcement of cyber crime are making purchase of Cyber Liability & Data Risk Insurance a necessity for many companies.Experian Inc. reports that almost 70% of business owners have yet to purchase some sort of insurance against cyber attack even though many business owners know cyber attack is a serious business risk. Many companies face significant costs from litigation following cyber attacks and even face the prospect of bankruptcy. In fact, The Gartner Group reports that 40% of all businesses experiencing data breaches are out of business within 6 months and 51% end business within two years following such cyber attacks.
