Cyber insurance for Motherwell businesses
Motherwell's businesses and their staff live on their phones as much as their computers, and attackers have followed them there. The phishing text, or 'smishing', has become a favourite way in.
Where the risks come from for Motherwell businesses
A smishing attack sends a convincing text message, a fake delivery notice, a bank alert, a message from the boss, to trick a member of staff into clicking a link or handing over a code. Phones feel personal and trusted, and a text can slip past the caution an email might trigger.
A Motherwell example
A member of staff at a Motherwell business is tricked by a smishing text into approving a login or handing over a code, letting an attacker into the systems. Cyber cover meets the incident response and any loss, reflecting an attack that arrived by text rather than email.
What cyber insurance covers
Cyber cover responds to breaches however the attacker got in, by text as readily as by email, meeting the response, loss and liability. As attacks move to phones, the cover follows.
