Europe Cyber Insurance Market – Overview
Cyber insurance is a specialized insurance policy created to shield companies against risks associated with information technology infrastructure and operations, as well as dangers that are Internet-based. First-party protection against losses such as data loss, extortion, theft, hacking, and denial of service attacks are some examples of the coverage offered by cyber-insurance plans. Liability coverage, which reimburses organizations for damages they cause to third parties, is another option. The financial damages brought on by cyber events and incidents are covered by cyber insurance plans. The costs of cleanup, including paying for legal counsel, investigators, crisis communicators, and consumer credits or refunds, are also assisted by cyber-risk coverage.
