Whether you own a company in Spain or work as a professional or skilled worker a cyber insurance will let you avoid most of the bad consequences of a cyber attack, cyber theft, hack or any other type of cyber crime.
Cyber Insurance Plans Protect You From Cyber Crime
Cyber risks are increasingly becoming one of the main worries of companies and professionals worldwide. Malicious attacks and cyber extorsions where cyber criminals demand payments in exchange for your compromised data (ransomware) or to stop DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks against your company website or servers have become more and more popular these last years. Cyber reputation risks associated to these kinds of attacks can impact your company negatively.
Reasons to Take Out a Cyber Insurance
All companies even the smaller ones are exposed to cyber attacks. These are some of the reasons to have a cyber insurance policy that helps you mitigate risks:
- Dealing with personal data, electronic devices, computers, networks and the cloud makes companies prone to be in the receiving end of a cyber attack.
- Local, Spanish or international legislation demands cyber risks to be taken into account by companies wanting to remain competitive. European Union’s GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is one of the most relevant examples lately.
- Risking your business operations or reputation in a single cyber attack can be fatal to your company
