Cyber Security Insurance

What is Cyber Security Insurance?

Cyber insurance, also known as cyber liability insurance or cyber risk insurance, is a specialized type of insurance that protects businesses from financial losses and liabilities arising from cyberattacks, data breaches, and other technology-related risks. In an increasingly digital world, where businesses rely heavily on data and interconnected systems, cyber threats pose a significant and growing risk.


TLDR: In today’s digital world, cyber threats pose serious risks to all businesses, especially SMEs. Cyber insurance is essential to protect your data, operations, and reputation, helping you recover quickly from attacks.


Purpose: The primary purpose of cyber insurance is to help businesses recover from the financial impact of cyber incidents. A data breach or cyberattack can lead to massive costs, including investigation expenses, legal fees, regulatory fines, notification costs, and reputational damage. Cyber insurance provides a critical financial safety net, allowing businesses to manage and mitigate these complex and evolving risks.


Coverage: Cyber insurance policies are designed to cover a wide range of costs associated with cyber incidents, which can include:


  • Data Breach Response Costs: Covers expenses related to responding to a data breach, such as forensic investigation, legal advice, public relations, credit monitoring for affected individuals, and notification costs.
  • Business Interruption: Compensates for loss of income and additional expenses incurred if a cyberattack disrupts your business operations.
  • Cyber Extortion: Covers costs associated with responding to ransomware attacks or other cyber extortion demands, including the ransom payment itself (if approved by the insurer) and expert negotiation services.
  • Legal and Regulatory Costs: Covers legal defense costs, fines, and penalties imposed by regulatory bodies (e.g., PDPA in Singapore) due to a data breach or non-compliance.
  • Network Security and Privacy Liability: Protects against claims from third parties (e.g., customers, vendors) who suffer damages due to a security failure or privacy breach in your network.
  • Reputational Damage: Some policies offer coverage for public relations and crisis management to restore your company’s reputation after a cyber incident.
  • Data Restoration: Covers the costs of restoring lost or corrupted data and systems.


Use-Case: If an e-commerce business is hit by a ransomware attack. Hackers lock their customer data and take the website offline, stopping all sales. The attackers demand a large ransom in cryptocurrency. Without cyber insurance, the business would have to handle negotiations, possibly pay the ransom, rebuild their system, and work to regain customer trust — all while losing revenue. With cyber insurance, the policy covers the cost of experts, investigations, ransom payment, and lost income, helping the business recover faster and reduce long-term damage.
