Just do what is right.
Today, Cyber insurance should be an integral part of a company’s insurance portfolio, both for mid-size businesses and for large companies and financial service providers.
In the event of an emergency, the insurers’ network of experts provides around-the-clock support (24/7 emergency hotline) in dealing with cyber incidents and helps avert or mitigate financial losses. These include, for example, various cost items for forensics, data recovery, crisis consulting in connection with business interruption and claims for damages.
Rising data volumes and increasing connectivity result in increased cyber risk.
Irrespective of size or industry, cyber incidents affect all companies.
The causes of damage are varied: from random events to targeted and professionally executed attacks.
Minimum requirements for your cyber security
Awareness training courses
Online training courses on Cyber security & GDPR, and phishing tests to increase employees' risk awareness.
Endpoint protection
Next-generation endpoint protection, such as next-generation antivirus solution or Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR).
Emergency plan
Support in creating a written emergency plan for responding to cyber incidents, for example, based on BSI Standard 100-4.

Coverage triggers for the Finlex special concept for cyber insurance:
Data breach
Violations of data protection regulations or unauthorized disclosure/use of third-party confidential data.
Network security breach
Unauthorized access or use of the IT system, e.g., hacker attacks, ransomware, etc.
Cyber extortion
Any threat of a network security breach unless the attacker receives payment (cyber extortion).
This saves discussions, time, and money in a crisis situation.
In the event of a claim, the details are decisive.
In designing our cyber product, we included the experience gained from a large number of claims which we have handled in recent years. This experience helps us to provide clients with targeted support even in suspected cases.
You can find more information and examples of claims in our claims section.
Preventive measures– how to avoid a claim.
Preventive measures (e.g., regular employee training courses on cyber risks, structured patch management and backup processes (including offline backups) or multiple authentication for remote access) and good preparation for a crisis (e.g., a written IT emergency plan) are extremely important, because what counts most in a worst-case scenario is speed and the associated clear responsibilities between internal and external resources. If this is ensured, unpredictable cyber risks with enormous loss potential still remain. These should be transferred to a risk carrier through cyber insurance.
Take advantage of our special concept for Cyber insurance.
In our Finlex special concept, we attach great importance to a clear structure and comprehensive coverage.
