Cyber Security Liability Insurance

2014-05-21

In the last post Cyber Security: Is Your Business Safe? , we discussed cyber security weak spots, and the different things you can do to protect your Virginia business and your clients.

Most of us whether in business or not are more vulnerable on the Internet than we may realize. In the case of businesses, however, it's not just the company's information that is vulnerable, but also the personal information of all its trusting customers. Consider the breach of security to which retail giant Target fell victim in 2013: millions of the company's customers had their credit card numbers stolen. If Target is vulnerable, who isn't?

Taking all the precautions listed in our last post does not guarantee your Virginia business is completely safe in the cyber security world. With cyber security liability insurance, however, you and your business will be financially protected from claims that may result from a breach of your cyber security.
