Cyber Attacks Aren’t an “If”, They’re a “When”¶
Cybercrime is a growing industry, and the consequences of a cyber attack can be massive. A single incident can put your entire company at risk from ransomware or even legal action if there's a privacy breach.
So how do you defend your business? With Palladium’s cyber liability insurance. Our policies help you through proactive risk assessment, proactive threat alerts and fast incident response should you ever need to make a claim.
Cyber Crime is a Booming Business¶
The consequences of cyber attacks can include lost files, employee downtime, gutted financial accounts, long-term reputation damage and legal action by your clients. The threat landscape is growing:
- According to Stats Canada, one in five Canadian companies were hit by a cyberattack in 2017, resulting in an average of $1.1 million in lost revenue.
- Even worse, cyber crime is a growth industry. Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that cybercrime will cost the world in excess of $10.5 trillion annually by 2025, up from $6 trillion in 2021 and $3 trillion in 2015.
No matter the size of your business, sensitive data needs to be protected. Infiltrations of large corporations and government databases get the press, but hackers will target even small businesses because they know many don’t have mature cybersecurity practices.
Luckily, Palladium’s cyber liability insurance can not only help you manage attacks, it can help you prevent them.
