Why Cyber Insurance is important

Every day radical technologies and information security laws evolve, putting your business and customers at greater risk. A data breach can cost thousands to millions of dollars in fines, legal fees, reputational damage and lost customers.

We bring you a complete package of cyber protection services, unlike other business insurance, to ensure your peace of mind and timely recovery from cyber-attacks. The loss of corporate information and individual data could severely disadvantage a business.

We protect small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) against liabilities arising from breaches of data protection laws, management of personal data and the consequences of losing information worldwide.

Just PDPC alone, almost every month, there’s a breach or companies contravened the data protection provisions under the PDPA

Cyber Responsibility

Misconception

Not IT Problem | cybercover.sg

Cyber attack is not an IT problem but a Business Operation Issue

Despite what people might think, data breach is not just an IT problem. It is a business operation issue. Most small businesses don’t have such resources to apply adequate defenses. Even with an inhouse IT, Legal, PR department, they might not be a Cyber expert to co-ordinate between them.

Phishing

No complete defence against
Cyber Security Breach

Cyber Liability Insurance protects you against liabilities arising from data protection laws, management of personal data & consequences of losing information. Loss of corporate information such as intellectual property and proprietary information could severely disrupt a business or even lead to bankruptcy at the hackers mercy.

Cyber threat is real

Cyber threats are commonplace and we won’t know when our staff might just happen to click an “infected” link to view an email order on a busy Monday morning.

Digital technology has brought your business incredible benefits in terms of productivity, connectivity, and automation, but it comes with the responsibility to manage and protect the data you process, your reputation and your intellectual property. No matter your strategy, there’s no complete defence against a cyber security breach, which can cause untold damage and be extremely expensive to resolve.

That’s why Cyber Liability Insurance is a critical part of total cyber defence. It protects you against liabilities arising from data protection laws, management of personal data and the consequences of losing information.

Frequently Asked Questions

CyberCover is a liability insurance that covers the company against liabilities arising from breaching data protection laws, management of personal data and consequences of losing information. This type of policy provides the following cover:
– Crisis Management services such as data forensic expenses, breach consultation services, breach responses services and public relation expenses
– Business Interruption costs
– First Party cover against risks such as network extortion, and hacker theft
– Third Party Liability cover against regulator liability, investigation costs as well as damages sought by third parties

As more SMEs go digital and business in general transitions to more flexible and remote working, they may find themselves exposed to IT threats such as phishing attacks and ransomware. Cyber Liability insurance can help to protect the firm’s balance sheet and reputation against liabilities arising from such threats and provide timely consultation and expert services to assist with mitigation of such event.
SMEs are especially vulnerable to ransomware and other internet threats because they may not invest in the sort of IT security measures employed by bigger companies due to their more limited resources. In a study by Osterman Research, an IT research company, it found that one in three Singapore SMEs were subject to ransomware attacks last year. The Osterman study noted that about 20 per cent of the affected companies even had to shut down as a result.
