Cyber insurance for Taunton businesses

Taunton's professional and public-sector businesses keep years of their dealings in their email, correspondence, attachments, decisions, all sitting in the mailbox. A compromised email account opens all of it at once.

Where the risks come from for Taunton businesses

A business's email is its memory, and an attacker who gets into a mailbox can read years of sensitive correspondence, attachments and personal data, harvesting information, impersonating the account, and using what they find for further fraud. The archive is as valuable as any database.

A Taunton example

An attacker compromises a Taunton business's email account and quietly reads years of confidential correspondence and attachments before it is discovered. Cyber cover meets the incident response, the assessment of what was exposed, the notification and the liability, reflecting a breach of the business's whole email history.

What cyber insurance covers

Cyber cover responds to email-account compromise and the exposure of the data held in a mailbox, meeting the response, notification and liability. Multi-factor authentication on email, which insurers expect, is the first defence.
