Cyber insurance for Wells-next-the-Sea businesses

Wells-next-the-Sea's tourism and hospitality businesses take on seasonal staff each summer and let them go each autumn, handing out logins and access as they arrive. What is rarely done as carefully is taking that access away again.

Where the risks come from for Wells-next-the-Sea businesses

Seasonal and temporary staff are given accounts and access to do their jobs, but when they leave, those accounts are often left active, live doors into the business long after the person has gone. A forgotten account is exactly what an attacker, or a disgruntled former worker, can walk through.

A Wells-next-the-Sea example

A Wells-next-the-Sea business is breached through the still-active account of a seasonal worker who had left months before. Cyber cover meets the response and the losses, and the episode shows why access must be removed as carefully as it is granted.

What cyber insurance covers

Cyber cover responds to breaches through neglected and former-staff accounts, meeting the response and liability, and insurers expect good access management. Removing access when people leave is a simple, expected control.
