The impact of a cyber attack is very high. Therefore, cyber insurance is no longer a luxury in this day and age. To minimize the chances of cyber attacks, there are a number of things you can do as a business owner, such as:

• Install software updates regularly and make sure systems are up-to-date.
• Use strong passwords and make sure you have as few identical passwords as possible for different programs.
• Make your staff aware of the risks and make clear agreements on handling customer data, among other things.

This page offers more tips on preventing cyber attacks.

Cyber attacks unfortunately take place daily and are not without risks. More and more Dutch companies are seeing the dangers of cybercrime. This is evident from the number of measures companies are taking to prevent a cyber attack. Due to the large increase in digital traffic, the danger of cybercrime will remain present in the coming years.

The main dangers of cybercrime include:

• Data theft
  When customer and/or supplier data becomes public, hackers can misuse this data in a variety of ways.
• Website (temporarily) down
  Temporary downtime of the website can lead to loss of revenue. You will not be able to reach (potential) customers temporarily.
• High costs
  Digital fraud or personal data theft often result in enormously high costs. In addition, you will need to invest in digital security to prevent any new cyber attack.
• Image damage
  When your company becomes a victim of cyber criminals, it creates negative publicity. This negative publicity creates image damage.

The risks of digitizing businesses are quite significant. It is important that you do not underestimate the risks and also make your staff aware of the potential dangers. Employees are often not sufficiently aware of the dangers of Internet crime. For example, the same password is often used for multiple websites. In addition, software updates are delayed too long. This makes it extra easy for Internet criminals to strike. Clearly explain why it is important to use strong passwords and vary passwords. Also make clear the importance of software updates and warn about emails from unknown senders. Don't let them open e-mails or files from people they don't trust.

If you are a victim of a cyber attack, it is important to remain calm but act quickly. To do so, follow the steps below:

1. Break the internet connection immediately
2. Inform the IT department
3. Back up your files
4. Inform your bank and block any payment accounts
5. Report it to the police.

A data breach can occur in a number of ways. Due to cybercrime, third-party personal data may fall into the hands of criminals. If security incidents arise from this, it is called a data breach. A data breach is considered a violation of privacy laws. As a company you are, in most cases, obliged to report this to the Personal Data Authority and sometimes also to the data subjects whose data has been leaked.

The information that you generally need to report immediately includes

• Login data, such as user names and passwords.
• Financial data of the persons concerned.
• Medical and psychological data.
• Social data of a personal nature.

Are you not reporting a data breach when you should be? Then you risk a high fine.
