Cyber protection insurance is a relatively new form of cover. It’s designed to help protect your business from the financial impact of computer hacking or a data breach.

To help explain cyber insurance, Steadfast have partnered with Kochie’s Business Builders to produce this short explainer video.

Why do I need it?

If your business has a website or electronic records, you’re vulnerable to cyber hackers. In fact, it’s likely that your business will suffer a cyber attack at some stage. A cyber attack could cost your business more than money. It could also threaten your intellectual property and put customers’ personal information at risk – which could damage your reputation.

What usually isn’t covered?

  • A cyber attack based on facts of which you were aware
  • Criminals using the internet to steal money from you
