The threat of cyberattacks is growing as the globe continues to become more digitalized, remote working becomes the new standard, and the cyber market is always changing. A cyber attack can have significant effects on a company or organisation, both financially and otherwise. A business can be effectively destroyed by business interruption, customer loss, reputational damage, and the significant amount of time and money required to recover. Numerous organisations are seeing the value of including a cyber insurance policy in their risk management strategy as the Australian cyber insurance market continues to expand. While many businesses still rely on "silent cyber" protection, the need for a custom cyber insurance plan is increasing as the cyber industry develops.
‘Silent cyber’
When an insurance policy does not specifically exclude cyber claims, "silent cyber" coverage refers to protection against cyber hazards that may be covered by another insurance policy, such as a liability or property insurance policy. However, some organisations discover that their insurance policies did not provide the coverage they needed in the event of a cyber threat as the threat of cyberattacks rises. Nowadays, a lot of organisations and companies look for proactive protection against cyber attacks. It has never been more important to have a specific cyber insurance policy in place since it offers affirmative and proactive coverage for claims relating cyber risks and assaults.
Effect on premiums
Although there are growing markets for cyber insurance all around the world, Australia's market is expanding more quickly. Over the past five years, both in Australia and internationally, the cost of cyber insurance has increased dramatically. Despite the fact that Australia's cyber insurance market is still smaller than that of other major industrialised nations, such as the US, it is growing more quickly than the US market. The price of cyber insurance will rise as more businesses choose particular cyber plans rather relying on "silent cyber."
What cyber insurance covers
Each particular cyber insurance policy must be carefully examined to ascertain what it covers, just like with any other type of insurance. Cyber insurance coverage will, however, typically cover cyber terrorism (including ransomware), reputational damage, some fines and penalties, and business interruptions. As always, it's crucial to conduct your homework and ascertain what threats to cyber safety your company needs to be protected against.
Data breaches
Numerous organisations in Australia are now required to notify individuals and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) following a data breach that has the potential to cause significant harm under a new law that was adopted in 2018. GDPR must be informed of the violation within 72 hours. Although human mistake continues to play a significant role in data breaches, malevolent or criminal intent plays an even larger role. It is crucial to continue being vigilant in relation to reporting data breaches because the organisation experiencing the breach will also experience the corresponding business interruptions and reputational damage. To lessen the chance that human error would lead to a data breach, it is also crucial to maintain quality control and ongoing staff training.
Preparing for a cyber attack
The speed at which a cyber threat can materialise and the ensuing interruption of business are Australia's top concerns. Cyber attacks can be fatal for a company or organisation if they are coupled with significant financial losses and reputational damage. A strong risk management strategy is essential, with an emphasis on defence against a cyber assault and the ability to swiftly recover from a prospective attack. Your company will be able to fend off and recover from cyberattacks if you plan for the worst. A reliable, targeted cyber insurance coverage will provide comfort and assistance in fending against and recovering from a cyber danger.
