Cyber and Data Loss insurance (Cyber Insurance) is fast becoming a ‘must have’ cover for any business that retains personal client data (financial or otherwise) within its computer systems. Loss of such data or release of it, to the outside world through error, negligence or the criminal acts of employees or third parties, could result in serious financial loss to the company. These exposures can be insured through the multitude of insurance policies that have become available in the current insurance market. The problem for most companies is to understand what coverage is available and how best to access the right insurance products to protect the potential data loss position to which all companies are potentially exposed.
This seminar will explain what cyber insurance is, what it covers and why you need to give this much greater attention within your business. Hackers are after personal data, contact details, bank details, personal information. And they are good at getting it.
The regulations governing data protection are becoming more onerous with businesses increasingly responsible for securely protecting information contained within their computer systems. Under the new General Data Protection Regulations “GDPR”, applicable from May 2018, companies will face heavy fines if their systems are breached and sensitive client data is accessed by unauthorised third parties.
You will learn about Incident Management, Communications and Crisis Containment, Business Interruption, Damage Repair, Extortion and Privacy Infringements.
You will know how cyber-attacks may be excluded for more general business interruption policies, given the growth in cybercrime, and how cyber insurance fills those gaps.
Risks need managing. This seminar will help you identify the risk, manage the risk, and insure the risk against financial loss, which could be substantial.
