What is cyber insurance
Cyber Insurance helps protect any business with an internet connection. A cyber-attack can have a crippling financial impact on businesses and their ability to continue to operate.
Every astute business owner insurers their business against insured perils such as fire, storm, malicious damage and theft, so ensuring your business is protected from hackers should also be a top priority.

What To Do If Cyber Attacked
How you deal with a cyber-attack will depend on our business and your role.
An organisation with an IT department
You should have a Cyber Risk Management plan in place and employees should be aware of what steps to take if they notice any suspicious online activity.
A small business with an external IT resource
You should ask them whether they have a cyber risk management plan in place and you, and your employees should know what to do.
If the responsibility for a cyber-attack lies with you,
then there are a number of information resources available to you. Below we have listed some useful contacts you may wish to investigate.
