Cyber insurance for Penzance businesses
Penzance's businesses, at the end of the line in more ways than one, often run older systems long past their prime, because they still work and replacing them is costly. Old software, though, stops being defended.
Where the risks come from for Penzance businesses
Legacy and end-of-life systems no longer receive security updates, so known vulnerabilities in them are never fixed, leaving a permanent, well-documented way in for attackers. A business kept running on old software is running on borrowed time.
A Penzance example
A Penzance business is breached through a known vulnerability in an old, unsupported system it had kept running. Cyber cover meets the incident response and recovery, and insurers increasingly expect a plan to retire or protect legacy systems that can no longer be patched.
What cyber insurance covers
Cyber cover responds to breaches through legacy and unsupported systems, though insurers increasingly look for old systems to be replaced or isolated. The cover meets the loss, and good practice reduces the exposure.
