Cyber insurance for Shrewsbury businesses

Shrewsbury's small and medium businesses mostly outsource their IT to a managed-service provider, one firm looking after many companies' systems. That efficiency concentrates risk in a single point.

Where the risks come from for Shrewsbury businesses

When a managed-service provider is compromised, an attacker can reach into every business it looks after at once, using the provider's trusted access as a master key. A single MSP breach can become a breach of dozens of its clients, none of whom did anything wrong.

A Shrewsbury example

The IT provider looking after a Shrewsbury business is compromised, and the attacker uses its access to breach the business along with the provider's other clients. Cyber cover meets the business's own response, recovery and liability, an exposure it inherited through its trusted supplier.

What cyber insurance covers

Cyber cover responds to breaches that reach a business through its IT or managed-service provider, meeting its own response and liability. As businesses concentrate their IT in one provider, that shared exposure grows.
