Cyber insurance for Blackpool businesses
Blackpool's tourism, hospitality and retail businesses hold customer data and depend on their systems through a demanding season. Criminals have learned that the threat to expose or destroy that is worth money.
Where the risks come from for Blackpool businesses
In a cyber-extortion attack, criminals steal a business's data, or threaten its systems, and demand payment not to leak it or to leave the business alone. Even without encryption, the threat of a damaging leak, of customer data, of reputation, is a powerful and costly form of blackmail.
A Blackpool example
Attackers steal customer data from a Blackpool business and threaten to publish it unless a ransom is paid. Cyber cover brings in specialist extortion and response support, meets the cost of managing the incident, and responds to the data exposure and any liability, whatever the business decides about the demand.
What cyber insurance covers
Cyber cover includes extortion response, expert negotiators and incident managers, alongside cover for the data exposed and the liability that follows. It answers for the threat as well as the technical attack.
