Cyber Insurance: Does Your Organization Need It?

A cyber attack is not just inconvenient and expensive, it can be an existential threat to an organization.

For companies that sell products through e-commerce or maintain electronic data on their customers, a systems breach involving this information can cripple or ruin a business. It is no longer a question of “if” any given company or organization is going to be hit with a cyber-attack — it is when.

And when that attack comes, who is willing to take on that risk?

What 2020 will bring directly depends on you… and your perception of cyber security.

We won’t be wrong if we say that large companies with enormous budgets and innovation opportunities have always been a desirable target for cyber criminals.

At the same time, their developed security systems designed to protect against an unauthorized entry strengthen their position in the cyber space (although not 100% of time – that’s a different story).
