Cyber Insurance: Essential Protection for Cyber Risk
Now more than ever, every business needs to be aware of cyber risks.

Who Needs Cyber Insurance?
Every business can benefit from cyber insurance. It’s wise to err on the side of caution anytime you deal with online transactions or your customers’ contact information. In the digital age, cyber threats grow more sophisticated by the day. As more businesses are making their way online, more cybercriminals are too. Cyber threats and vulnerabilities aren’t always within your control. But you can still protect yourself with two powerful forces: cybersecurity and cyber insurance coverage.
Some industries that need cyber insurance are:
- Cyber Insurance for Healthcare
- Cyber Insurance for Education
- Cyber Insurance for Retail
- Cyber Insurance for Financial Institutions
- Cyber Insurance for Law Firms
- Cyber Insurance for Accountants
- Cyber Insurance for Non-Profits
- Cyber Insurance for Technology Companies
- Cyber Insurance for Real Estate Companies
What Are the Most Common Cyber Threats?
In 2020, Norton Security reported some of the most common cyber threats as follows:
- Data privacy attacks and breaches occur when protected or confidential information is copied, stolen, or viewed by an unauthorized individual. A breach occurs when hackers find small vulnerabilities in a website. These attacks can result in compromised credit card numbers, stolen identities, confiscated medical records, and more.
- Ransomware is a form of malicious software that infiltrates a computer or network. This type of malware may prevent certain files from being accessed or even completely lock up the functionality of your system until a demanded ransom is paid.
- Phishing occurs when an outsider user attempts to obtain credentials or personal information via email or some other means, often posing as someone familiar or authoritative. If the phishing attack is successful, the attacker can then take over the account(s) they gained access to, changing passwords to lock the original user(s) out. Risk can be even greater if the attacker gained access to an account with greater administrative privileges, potentially compromising entire systems. Phishing is one reason why two-factor authorization has become a prominent security feature in 2020.
Keep in mind that these are only a handful of today’s most common risks. There are also many cybersecurity measures you can take to protect your information. However, as new digital technologies present themselves, new cyber threats do too. The risks now may look very different from those in a decade. While we can’t predict the future of the digital age, we know with confidence that cyber insurance can protect every online business for today and beyond.
