Is your business appropriately protected from cyber crime? Do you have specific cyber insurance coverage? Many small and medium businesses don't understand the issues involved and are at risk of costly cyber attacks.
In the past, it was the mega companies that were being hacked and they had teams of cyber loss control staff trying to prevent this by designing good security systems. Now, the cyber criminals have moved to targeting smaller enterprises with less robust security. While the cyber criminals may no longer get one large ransom amount from a mega company, they may get many smaller amounts from these other businesses.
Many of these small to medium businesses don't spend enough money on cyber security, therefore are more vulnerable to cyber attacks.
Business insurance has changed over time to include cyber insurance. Cyber security is identified as a risk to businesses. It's just one of the many risk profiles in a business. So when your business applies for a cyber insurance policy, the insurance company will look at your IT security and this will impact your premiums. If it's determined that you haven't put appropriate controls in place for your risk profile, you may not qualify for insurance.
The cyber insurance policies have grown to meet the greater needs of businesses. They're an extremely valuable policy coverage to have in your arsenal against a business risk.
The cyber security strategy for your business involves working with your IT professionals and getting appropriate cyber insurance coverage. There are many issues involved with setting up and maintaining IT systems and in determining your cyber security risk profile. It's important to get professional IT support and to use an insurance broker so that you can get the most effective cyber security for your business.
Explore these issues and more and get your business' cyber security on track.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
