In today’s digital age, cyber threats are a growing concern for businesses of all sizes. Cyber Liability Insurance is essential for safeguarding your business from financial losses or liabilities due to data breaches and cyber incidents.
Cyber insurance isn't just for large corporations or those with e-commerce platforms; it’s vital for any business that uses the Internet. With flexible, comprehensive, and scalable coverage options, Cyber Liability Insurance can be tailored to your business’s type, size, and risk potential. Coverage may include direct losses, such as business interruptions, and out-of-pocket expenses such as legal claims.
Recent data shows that cyber threats are an increasing concern for Canadian businesses. A Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA)
report found that 36% of organizations experienced a cyber attack in the past year. Small businesses are particularly vulnerable, often due to limited resources to counter cyber threats.
The impact of a cyber attack is substantial, often exceeding direct financial costs. Interrupted business operations and reputational damage are common repercussions. In 2023, the average cost of a cyber attack in Canada escalated to approximately $18,000.
