Cyber insurance for Stroud businesses
Stroud's creative and independent businesses often run lean and flexible, with staff using their own laptops and phones for work as readily as any company device. Personal devices doing company work blur the line an attacker can slip through.
Where the risks come from for Stroud businesses
When staff use their own devices for work, 'bring your own device', company data spreads onto phones and laptops the business does not control or secure, and a personal device that is compromised, lost or poorly protected becomes a way into the business. The convenience widens the attack surface.
A Stroud example
A Stroud business is breached through a member of staff's personal laptop, used for work but never properly secured, that an attacker had compromised. Cyber cover meets the response and the losses, and the episode shows why personal-device use needs clear rules and controls.
What cyber insurance covers
Cyber cover responds to breaches that come in through personal and BYOD devices as well as company ones, meeting the response and liability. Clear device policies reduce the risk, and cover answers for what gets through.
