Cybersecurity insurance protection

Do you manage confidential data? Do you use a computer network? All this information, and much more, will allow your Malouin Assurance broker to determine the type of protection you need.

Cybersecurity: work on it!

It is important to know what is protected by your cybersecurity insurance. Too many businesses neglect to protect themselves against cybercrime. They think that their insurance covers all financial losses that may be caused by an incident. This fosters a false sense of security. As a result, they do not invest enough in preventative measures.

And we can’t overemphasize this: prevention is everything! Above all, be aware of the limitations of your insurance. Depending on your situation, some issues may not be covered:

N

Internal threats (e.g. human error);

N

Les « Acts of war ».

N

Intangible losses (long-term consequences);

Make sure you get all the information you need. This way, you can choose the appropriate protection measures against cyber threats and make up for what is not covered. In addition, certain preventative measures can save you money on your premiums.

Strategies to combat cyber- risks

There are many ways to protect yourself against phishing, data breach, defamation or hacking. Here are some of the most common:

N

Have cybersecurity experts analyze your IT infrastructure for vulnerability.

N

Back up your data at least once a week.

N

Secure the authentication of your IT infrastructure. This implies the implementation of complex passwords. Each user must have his/her own password.

N

Ensure that all members of your team are familiar with the rules for protecting your computer system.
