Cyber Insurance and Privacy Insurance

Technology, data, and infrastructure are the oxygen of modern businesses. From a start-up hoping to make waves in media, to the laboratory business that’s developing next-gen medical devices – all organizations must embrace technology to thrive. But with new technology comes new risk.

The invisible threat of cyber-crime, combined with the potential for tech infrastructure to fail, and the ever-evolving regulatory landscape, represents a new minefield for modern business.

Unless your organization carries specialist cyber insurance coverage against such perils, you won’t be protected against the unusual risks that arise in cyberspace.

What if:

• Your network or ‘cloud’ were hacked – and the data regulator insists you notify customers of the breach?
• A malware attack interrupts your operations, leaving a hole in your revenues?
• You incur cost in reconstituting valuable data that’s been stolen?
• The data regulator enforces painful financial penalties on you following a breach?

In the wake of numerous high-profile cyber-crime cases, including network and data breaches, businesses globally are shoring themselves up against a range of new global tech and cyber risks. As experts in customized insurance for technology and mediatech businesses, La Playa is the ideal partner to design a watertight cyber insurance solution for your cyber risks.
