What is cyber insurance? (Canada)

Cyber liability insurance goes by many names these days: cyber insurance; cybersecurity insurance, cyber risk, hack insurance and others. However, the intent of all of these polices remains the same: a cyber policy is an insurance product used to protect your business from data breaches on computer system(s), potentially exposing client information.

What does cyber liability insurance cover?

  • Comprehensive Cyber Liability: Combines third-party (your customers/clients) cyber liability and first-party (you and your business) cyber crime expense coverage.
  • Digital Data Recovery Costs: Covers destruction or loss of digital data resulting from a criminal cyber event.
  • Business Interruption: Continuing normal operating & payroll expenses, and net profit before income tax that would have been earned had no interruption in service of the computer system occurred.
  • Extortion & Ransomware: Provides coverage for costs associated with payments to those who threaten to disclose sensitive information.
  • Forensic Investigation: Covers the legal, technical and forensic services necessary to assess the cause and scope of the cyber incident.
  • Cyber Incident Response Expenses

While the most prominent cases reported have been attacks against large companies such as Target, Sony and Home Depot; in fact, at least 43% of cyber attacks occur against small businesses. Of the small businesses attacked, 60% never recover after a hack and go out of business within 6 months because of a lack of cybersecurity.

Front Row Insurance’s cyber insurance provides protection against a range of online hazards.

How to safeguard against a cyber attack?

Now more than ever, it’s important you protect yourself in every possible way. Here are a few tips we share with all of our clients:

  • Develop a password strategy: Using the same password across many devices and accounts is the easiest way to compromise security. Once a hacker gets their hands on a password, they can use it to compromise employee information as well as customer data, turning a single password breach into millions in damage.

  • Avoid collecting or storing payment information: Outsource payment processing and avoid collecting customer payment information such as credit card info on your own. Dedicated security staff have the resources and tools to protect data better than you can.

  • Educate your employees: It may seem like common sense, but it’s not always. Develop a written policy about security & privacy and make sure employees are on board and understand their responsibility to protect confidential data. No business is “too small” for a hacker; the more prepared you are, the less at-risk you are.

  • And, of course, purchase cyber liability insurance: 90% of small businesses do not currently have cyber insuranceYou need to know that your business will be protected against any security breaches.
