can be misled by a false sense of security. What it does do is cover the replacement of lost or
damaged equipment, forensic and investigative costs, along with legal expenses and employee
resignation. This is fundamental especially given breaches can cost between £600 and £1.5
million.
Security begins with self-education. Knowing your company and its current resilience to protect
against cyber-risks is fundamental in order for you to choose an insurance policy best suited to you.
Cyber-aware firms should first implement a strict and dynamic cyber-security strategy and this
strategy should be underpinned by appropriate cyber insurance tailored to you. Cyber-attacks have
been increasingly compared to natural disasters. When they hit they hit hard and if you are
unprepared for them the losses can be devastating. So, since you do have options to protect your
business why not let us help you make the first steps to secure your business?
What we can do for you
Finding out about the harsh reality that is cybercrime can be shocking and it is for these reasons
that we have the utmost goal in mind; to protect your company from an attack. It is for these
reasons that we have a new working partnership with Adler Insurance Ltd where cyber-security
strategies and cyber-insurance can now go hand in hand.
Anish Chauhan Managing Director Equilibrium Security commented “Let’s be honest insurance
alone is not enough to have in place if your company is breached by a cyber-attack however it is a
good validation point to have in place for your customers and can help save a lot of money in the
long run.”
And what is our partner’s perspective? Angela Irvine, Chartered Insurance Practitioner at Adler
Insurance, commented, “assets are moving from bricks to clicks, and SMEs should consider their
online resources and how to protect them. The attention cyber risk is now getting in the Boardroom
highlights a greater understanding of cyber security issues across industries in the UK.”
