Cyber risk insurance. Atlantic Insurance has been arranging Cyber Risk Insurance for its clients for many years across Australia from our head office located in Melbourne, Victoria. We have developed a unique understanding of the scope of cover and protection provided under these policies and the potential impact a cyber event can have on an organisation.
In the galaxy of insurance products, cyber insurance is something relatively new though it has been around us for quite some time.
Mark Bagley, VP at cybersecurity company AttackIQ explains, "Cyber insurance policies are designed to cover the costs of security failures, including data recovery, system forensics, as well as the costs of legal defence and making reparations to customers.
"System forensics and underwriting the data recovery can help to cover some of the expenses connected to investigations and mediations done in behalf of the business by a forensic cyber security company to assist in the finding of what has happened and in fixing the problem.
In fact, this is something similar to what happens after a ransomware attack, which is one of the most damaging and disrupting type of attacks we can find risking businesses.Quite surprisingly, some cyber insurance companies even go to the extent of covering the cost of ransom given to the attackers though this is not something that any information security entity or law enforcement agency will not approve of.
Given the wide prevalence of cybercrimes, it is necessary for any business facing the risk of cyber-attacks to evolve policies that will help protect its crucially important digital assets.Theresa Payton, former White House CIO for the George W. Bush administration and the Founder CEO of cyber security company Fortalice Solutions says, "The insurance company looks at what the potential incident response and forensic bill might be and that's going to be bigger in many cases as organizations aren't prepared, so they'd actually rather pay.
"Yet another innovative kind of cyber-attack is business email compromise (BEC) phishing scams.
