Cyber Risk Insurance FAQs

What is cyber risk insurance?

Cyber risk insurance, also known as cyber liability insurance, is designed to protect businesses from the financial losses resulting from cyberattacks or data breaches. It helps mitigate the potentially devastating costs associated with incidents like data breaches, ransomware, or cyber extortion, allowing your business to recover faster and continue operations.

Our organization already has an insurance agent; aren’t we covered?

Many small and medium-sized organizations don’t have cyber insurance, or they have coverage that doesn’t adequately protect them. Studies show that 47%-83% of businesses are either uninsured or underinsured when it comes to cyber risk. Even if you have coverage, it may not align with your business’s greatest risks or may be overpriced for coverage that isn’t relevant. Cyber insurance is a specialized area that requires a tailored approach to meet today’s complex threats.

Our organization is not a technology company; why do we need cyber insurance?

Cyber risks affect every business, not just tech companies. If your organization interacts with larger enterprises or the government, you may be required to have cyber insurance in order to do business with them. Additionally, many industries, including healthcare, finance, and legal services, have regulatory requirements that demand adequate cybersecurity and insurance. Cyber insurance protects your business against incidents that could affect your operations and the businesses or individuals you work with.

What types of attacks/incidents does cyber risk insurance help with?

Cyber risk insurance helps mitigate the financial impact of various cyber incidents, including but not limited to:

  1. Data breaches: Covers costs such as notification of affected individuals, credit monitoring, and public relations management.
  2. Data loss or corruption: Helps recover or reconstruct lost or damaged data, including costs for investigations.
  3. Cyber extortion (ransomware): Provides coverage for ransom payments, forensic investigations, and negotiations with attackers.
  4. Business interruption: Compensates for income loss and extra expenses during a disruption caused by a cyber incident.
  5. Legal costs: Covers the expenses of defending against lawsuits and regulatory fines that may result from a cyber incident.

Aren’t all cyber risk insurance policies the same?

Cyber insurance policies can vary widely in terms of coverage limits, exclusions, and services offered. At Far Out Solutions and Brightway, we work closely to provide tailored policies that match your specific needs and risk profile. Our partnerships ensure that you receive competitive rates while guaranteeing that your business is properly covered in the event of a cyberattack.

What are the requirements to get a cyber insurance policy for my business?

To qualify for cyber insurance, businesses typically need to:

  1. Risk Assessment: A comprehensive evaluation of your organization’s cybersecurity posture and risk management practices.
  2. Security Measures: Demonstration of implemented cybersecurity practices, such as firewalls, encryption, antivirus software, and employee training programs.
  3. Compliance: Proof of compliance with relevant industry regulations and data protection laws, such as GDPR or HIPAA.
  4. Documentation: Documentation such as security policies, risk assessments, incident response plans, and past incident records.
  5. Disclosure of Past Incidents: Past cyber incidents may need to be disclosed, as they could affect coverage and premiums.

What’s the average cost of a cyber attack/incident?

The costs of a cyber attack can vary significantly depending on the size and industry of the organization, the type of attack, and the effectiveness of your recovery efforts. In 2023, the global average cost of a cyber attack was in the range of hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars for large organizations. For smaller businesses, the cost can still be substantial, considering the impact on operations, reputation, legal fees, data recovery, and more.
