Cyber insurance – it’s not the cybers you’re insuring
Conclusion: Cyber insurance is claimed to help recoup the losses sustained by an organisation from a raft of incidents that may or may not be “cyber”. It is imperative that organisations understand their data assets and business processes, and the risks to these, before engaging with an insurer. With a changing legislative environment, there is a role to play for insurance against losses relating to cyber incidents, especially around first party costs and third party impacts. However, cyber insurance is still a very new area and the insurers are still finding their way. This means that prospective customers need to be more informed than ever.
