Cyber Liability Protects Digital Assets and All Types of Data

Internal or external hackers or errors can compromise your electronic data and any paper data. Cyber attacks can happen to companies of any size. In fact, small business and mid-size business are most at risk for cyber attacks. In 2011, nearly 72% of data breaches occurred in companies with less than 100 employees.
The question isn’t should you have a Cyber Policy but rather what type of limit should I carry and without a policy, could I afford to pay all the costs that I would incur or would it close my business down?
