What is Cyber Insurance?
Cybersecurity insurance is designed to mitigate losses from a variety of cyber incidents, including data breaches, business interruption, and network damage. A robust cybersecurity insurance market could help reduce the number of successful cyber attacks by promoting the adoption of preventative measures in return for more coverage and encouraging the implementation of best practices by basing premiums on an insured's level of self-protection.
