Cyber insurance is a type of insurance policy that provides business with a combination of coverage options to help protect the company from data breaches and other cyber security issues. In today?s cyber landscape, it?s not a question of if your organization will suffer a breach, but when. As technology becomes more complex and sophisticated, so do the threats that business face. This is why every organization needs to be prepared with both cyber insurance and an effective cyber security plan to manage and mitigate cyber risk. Cyber insurance can often provide coverage in the following ways: Lost Data, Lost Devices, Notification Requirements, and Forensics; it also can play a role in protecting your company long before a breach occurs! If a data breach does occur, cyber insurance can be essential in helping your organization recover as costs incurred can include business disruption, equipment damages, forensic analysis, legal fees, public relations expenses, and revenue loss. All of these are reasons why Info Advantage is excited to provide you with our upcoming webinar ? Cyber Insurance Is Evolving: What You Need To Know For 2022!

As we look back at 2021 it?s evident that cybersecurity strongholds were surrounded by cybercriminals waiting to pounce at the sight of even the slightest crack in defenses. Threats and risks from all angles soon closed in on businesses of all sizes, bringing with them updated tactics and greater motivation to affect targeted industries. These breaches included modern ransomware attacks, Covid-19 related scams, and more developed social engineering threats. Here are a few stats to consider as you look to increase your security in the New Year: The amount of cyberattacks across the U.S. increased by 900% and is still rising.
