Cyber insurance for Perth businesses
Perth's businesses hit by ransomware face an obvious question, whether to pay, and a less obvious one that can be more serious: whether paying is even lawful.
Where the risks come from for Perth businesses
Paying a ransom can be a legal minefield, because many ransomware groups are linked to sanctioned entities, and paying them can breach sanctions law regardless of the pressure to recover. A business acting alone risks compounding an attack with a legal violation.
A Perth example
A Perth business hit by ransomware considers paying, unaware that the group behind it may be sanctioned, making payment potentially unlawful. Cyber cover's incident response brings the legal and specialist expertise to navigate the decision properly, including the sanctions question, rather than leaving the business to guess.
What cyber insurance covers
Cyber cover brings the legal and specialist expertise to handle a ransom situation correctly, including the sanctions and lawfulness questions, not just the technical recovery. That expert guidance is a core benefit of the cover.
