Cyber Insurance on the Mid North Coast

Does your work involve dealing with sensitive healthcare or personal information? What would you do if you faced a cyberattack? Here at Insurance Advisernet Australia, we work with business owners to help make sure they would be prepared in the unfortunate event of a data breach or cyber attack. We have offices in Taree, Armidale and Dungog and assist clients throughout the Mid North Coast and Upper Hunter Valley, including Forster, Nelson Bay and Medowie.

Due to increasingly sophisticated technology, cyber attacks are becoming increasingly prevalent. Data breaches can lead to sensitive information being lost or stolen, putting both you and your customers at risk. Hackers can also infect your business’ files with ransomware and render them unusable. These events can cause major damage to your reputation, your customers’ trust and your bottom line. From paying for IT solutions through to lost income for a network outage, cyber insurance is designed to help you recover as quickly as possible.

If your business has a website or electronic records then it may be susceptible to cyber crime or an accidental data breach. While we recommend you speak to an IT professional to make sure you have the right systems and software to reduce the chance of this happening, your business is still at risk. Hackers may target your business specifically or you could face a breach after an employee leaves their laptop in a public place.

No matter the cause, the right policy can help protect your business against complex digital threats. Cyber insurance can mitigate the costs of data breaches, email fraud, internal threats, social engineering, use of malware, extortion and more.
