Cyber insurance for Dumfries businesses
Dumfries's businesses, spread across a rural south-west Scotland, embraced remote and hybrid working as readily as anywhere, with staff logging in from home offices and kitchen tables. A workforce spread across home networks is a wider target.
Where the risks come from for Dumfries businesses
Remote and hybrid working extends a business's systems into homes, personal devices and domestic networks that it does not control and cannot secure as tightly as an office. Each remote setup is a potential weak point, and attackers have followed the workforce home.
A Dumfries example
An attacker gets into a Dumfries business through a member of staff's poorly-secured home network and moves on into the company systems. Cyber cover meets the response and the losses, and good remote-working controls, which insurers increasingly expect, would have narrowed the door.
What cyber insurance covers
Cyber cover responds to attacks that come in through remote and home working as well as the office, and insurers increasingly look for controls that secure a dispersed workforce. The cover reflects how businesses actually work now.
