The costs can include legal fees, forensic investigations, notification costs, loss of income, and reputational damage. Many businesses lack the resources to absorb these costs and may struggle to recover from the financial impact of a cyber attack.
Cyber security insurance can help businesses mitigate these risks by providing financial protection against the costs of a cyber attack. This enables businesses to focus on recovering from the attack and getting back to business as usual.
The importance of cyber insurance in today’s digital age cannot be overstated. Doing business on the internet comes with inherent risks, and cyber insurance is designed to alleviate these risks. However, navigating the world of insurance can be a minefield, and this is especially true when it comes to cyber insurance.
Cyber insurance is a young and rapidly growing market. According to recent reports, around £6.5bn was paid in premiums for cyber insurance last year, and significant growth is expected in the next decade. However, as cyber threats continue to evolve and become more sophisticated, many insurers and underwriters are getting cold feet. This is due to the increased risk of ransomware attacks and outages that cause serious losses.
As a result, premiums are increasing at an alarming rate, and many vendors are imposing restrictive terms and, in some cases, withdrawing from the market altogether.
The issue is being compounded by the increased regulatory compliance being introduced. Businesses that struggle to comply with these regulations may find that the risk can no longer be transferred or underwritten, meaning that it remains with the Board. This puts a significant burden on businesses, as they are now responsible for managing and mitigating the risks associated with cyber attacks.
e2e-assure’s cyber security insurance service is designed to help businesses navigate this complex and rapidly evolving market. Our team of cybersecurity experts works closely with clients to understand their unique needs and develop comprehensive cyber insurance policies that meet those needs.
We understand that businesses need financial protection against the costs of a cyber attack, but they also need to reduce their risks and vulnerabilities to reduce the likelihood of an attack. That’s why we work closely with our clients to identify potential risks and vulnerabilities in their systems, providing expert advice and guidance to address those risks.
However, there are good practices that are applicable to all businesses that can help lower the risk of cyber attacks and present to insurers as a safer, insurable commodity. Ensuring compliance with regulatory standards is one such practice. Adhering to recognised schemes such as Cyber Essentials+ is another. These practices demonstrate to insurers that a business is proactive about cybersecurity and is taking steps to reduce their risks and vulnerabilities.
e2e-assure has witnessed the birth of the cyber insurance market and has worked alongside global organisations to proactively maintain their risk portfolios. We are your strongest partner in this space, providing advice, guidance, and solutions that will work for your business.
We believe that in this arena, it has become cost and risk-effective to adopt a hybrid strategy of purchased and self-insurance. Self-insurance involves ring-fencing capital to address the impact of a cyber incident, ensuring that a business has solid disaster recovery strategies and has the knowledge, capacity, and resource to enact them.
When thinking about purchased risk transfer in the form of cyber insurance, it has become critical that businesses can evidence to underwriters their posture and maturity in relation to incident management, data collection & storage, device security, and user training, to name just a few.
At e2e-assure, we offer assessment, detection & response, and specialist protection services that enable businesses to prove to their Board and insurers that they are serious about security and proactive about presenting an insurable risk proposition. Our team of cybersecurity experts works closely with clients to identify potential risks and vulnerabilities, providing expert advice and guidance to address those risks.
As businesses continue to operate in a digital world, the need for cyber insurance becomes increasingly apparent. Cyber insurance is designed to protect businesses from the financial consequences of a cyber attack. However, it’s important to remember that cyber insurance should not be seen as a “one-size-fits-all” solution.
At e2e-assure, we understand that businesses need to adopt cyber insurance policies that are tailored to their specific needs. Our team of cybersecurity experts works closely with clients to identify potential risks and vulnerabilities in their systems, providing expert advice and guidance to address those risks.
By only adopting the insurance that a business needs, they can avoid paying for coverage that they don’t need. This can help to reduce the cost of cyber insurance while still providing comprehensive coverage against the financial consequences of a cyber attack.
In addition, by working with e2e-assure, businesses can operate with the confidence that their critical assets are protected. Our team of experts works closely with clients to identify and prioritise their critical assets, ensuring that they are protected against cyber threats.
Finally, by demonstrating a mature, accredited security posture to vendors and clients, businesses can differentiate themselves from competitors and gain a competitive advantage. Our team of cybersecurity experts can work with clients to attain recognised adherence to schemes such as Cyber Essentials+, demonstrating a commitment to cybersecurity best practices and give clients the confidence that their data is in safe hands.
“World-leading cyber threat monitoring is critical to any modern organisation and this is exactly what e2e-assure provide for us and our customers.”
