A single hacked email. A malware-laced invoice. That’s all it takes to cost a small or medium-sized business thousands of dollars or bring your operations to a standstill.
As more entrepreneurs and businesses shift to using digital tools, online storefronts, and cloud-based systems to up efficiencies and growth, cyber insurance is becoming less of a luxury and more of an essential.
And it’s not just business owners at risk. Individuals and families are increasingly targeted by phishing scams, data thefts, and ransomware attacks. So, whether you’re running a start-up or managing your household, being protected in the digital world is no longer optional.
