Cyber insurance for Luton businesses
Luton's airport, logistics and manufacturing businesses give access to a stream of outside contractors, IT support, maintenance firms, service providers, who connect to their systems to do the work. Every one of those connections is a door held open for someone else.
Where the risks come from for Luton businesses
A contractor or service provider with remote access to a business's systems can be the way in for an attacker, if the contractor is compromised, or their access poorly controlled, the attacker inherits their keys. The business is breached through a door it opened for a supplier.
A Luton example
Attackers reach a Luton business through the compromised remote access of a maintenance contractor, moving from the contractor's connection into the company systems. Cyber cover meets the response and the losses, and the episode underlines the need to control third-party access tightly.
What cyber insurance covers
Cyber cover responds to breaches that come in through third-party and contractor access, meeting the response and liability. Controlling who can reach the systems, and how, both reduces the risk and supports a claim.
