Secure your company with cyber insurance

Cyber attacks are becoming commonplace, as more businesses turn to digital solutions. Let our experts help protect your business through cyber attacks, data loss and recovery.

What is cyber insurance

Cyber insurance provides coverage for a business’s liability in the event of a breach on its Information Technology infrastructure that may result in leakage of sensitive data, such as customers’ personal information or business trade secrets. Having cyber insurance coverage will allow a business to mitigate the financial losses in the event of such a cyber-attack, as well as the costs of recovery and restoration in the aftermath of the incident.

Small and Medium sized enterprises (SMEs) are often targeted by cyber criminals as they usually lack the resources and cyber security infrastructure to protect themselves against a potential intrusion such as Malware or unauthorised access to the business’s cyber infrastructure.

Cost of cover can start from S$1,000 per year.

What does cyber insurance cover

Costs incurred from a cyber-attack:

Cyber-extortion during the attack
Remediation actions after the attack
Loss of business data
Loss of income and recovery cost incurred from network outage

Lawsuits from third parties for:

Wrongful disclosure of private information
Incidental IP infringement, defamation or negligence
Fines for failure to deter a computer malicious act
