How can I take out cyber insurance?
Cybercrime is a very rapidly growing form of crime right now. Everyone is affected by technological advances. Cyber insurance offers help if you are a victim of cybercrime. Taking out cyber insurance is not required by law, but it is certainly recommended. With the great increase in digital traffic, the danger of cybercrime will remain present in the coming years. Through www.alpina.nl you can purchase both cyber insurance for businesses and cyber insurance for individuals.
Cyber insurance companies
Cyber attacks unfortunately occur on a daily basis. Yet it seems that many private individuals and companies are insufficiently prepared and do not pay enough attention to the online behaviour of their employees. For companies, a cyber-attack can cause various dangers, such as: theft of data, temporary unavailability of the website, high costs and damage to the company's image. With cyber insurance for businesses, you can cover legal liability, business losses, costs of crisis management and your own losses.
Cyber insurance for private individuals
Just like for businesses, it is also possible to take out cyber insurance for private individuals, a so-called CyberCare Policy. The cover includes all family members living at home. Children under the age of 27 who live abroad are also insured. When you take out private cyber insurance, there is only cover for damage that you suffer as a private individual.
