Cyber Insurance
It used to be that cyber attacks and data breaches were relatively rare occurrences. That has unfortunately changed over the years, as hackers have become more sophisticated and cunning. The cost of cybercrime is predicted to hit $8 trillion in 2023 and will grow to $10.5 trillion by 2025.
Many business owners think large corporations are the primary target of these virtual assaults. After all, these firms own massive amounts of data and have the financial resources to cover the cost of Ransomware and other forms of cyber extortion. This is unfortunately not the case, as 43% of all attacks are aimed at small businesses. Hackers go after this particular niche knowing they probably have weaker security protocols in place. Here are some not-so fun facts about the impact cyber criminals have on companies:
