Cyber insurance for Portishead businesses

Portishead's businesses, like most, have put their security systems online, CCTV, door access, alarms, all connected and controllable over the network. The systems meant to protect the premises can themselves be attacked.

Where the risks come from for Portishead businesses

Connected CCTV, access-control and alarm systems are computers too, and if they are insecure, an attacker can disable them, spy through them, or use them as a way into the wider network. The physical-security system becomes a cyber vulnerability.

A Portishead example

An attacker compromises the connected CCTV and access-control system at a Portishead business, both defeating its physical security and reaching its network through the devices. Cyber cover meets the response and the losses, reflecting an attack that came through the security systems themselves.

What cyber insurance covers

Cyber cover responds to attacks on connected security and building systems, CCTV, access control, alarms, meeting the response and any loss. As physical security goes online, it becomes part of the cyber exposure.
