Cyber insurance for Gloucester businesses

Gloucester's aerospace, engineering and manufacturing businesses sit within tight supply chains, dependent on key suppliers for parts, materials and services. When a supplier is hit by a cyber attack, the disruption flows downstream.

Where the risks come from for Gloucester businesses

A cyber attack that halts a key supplier can stop a business that relies on it, no parts, no service, no data, even though the business's own systems are untouched. In a lean supply chain, one supplier's cyber event becomes everyone's problem.

A Gloucester example

A cyber attack shuts down a key supplier to a Gloucester manufacturer, and the manufacturer's own production stalls for want of what the supplier provides. Cyber cover with contingent business-interruption for supplier cyber events responds to the lost output, a loss the business could not otherwise recover.

What cyber insurance covers

Cyber cover can extend business interruption to cyber events at key suppliers, not just the business's own systems or cloud providers. In a connected supply chain, that contingent cover closes a real gap.
