2021 saw an alarming uptick in cyber security breaches for small businesses; from $3.86 to $4.2 million. Yet, only 20% of small companies surveyed have cyber insurance. And the real kick? An average breach for a company of under 500 employees can cost up to $3 million per data breach, according to the IBM and Ponemon Institute’s 2021 study.
Why are companies STILL reluctant to get Cyber Insurance?
The challenges of COVID, shipping charges going through the roof and other issues adversely affecting business in 2021 have overshadowed the need for a review of cyber-security.
What caused the uptick?
Remote workers with lax security measures, weak passwords and employees opening phishing emails caused 95% of the failures. While you might not be ready to make the jump to cyber-security insurance, there are some safeguards you can take to keep your company safe.
