Cyber insurance for Barnstaple businesses

Barnstaple's market-town businesses and their staff live in their inboxes, and a convincing email is all it takes to open a door. Phishing is the commonest way an attacker gets in.

Where the risks come from for Barnstaple businesses

A phishing email that tricks a member of staff into entering their password hands an attacker the keys to email, systems and data, and from there they can steal information, divert payments or launch a wider attack. It costs nothing to send and works often enough to be the leading cause of breaches.

A Barnstaple example

A member of staff at a Barnstaple business enters their credentials on a fake login page, and the attacker takes over the account, reads the email history and attempts to redirect payments. Cyber cover meets the incident response, securing the systems, and any loss or liability that follows.

What cyber insurance covers

Cyber cover responds to the consequences of a phishing attack and account takeover, the incident response, any funds lost, the data exposed and the liability, and many policies bring risk-management tools to reduce the chance of one succeeding. It sits at the heart of any cyber policy.
