1. **Navigating the Cyber Threat Landscape: Post-Pandemic Shifts in UK Businesses**
The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed how businesses operate. With more employees working remotely, cybercriminals quickly adapted their strategies to exploit technology’s weaknesses and users’ ignorance. The first step to protect your business against these threats is understanding the risks you’re facing. In 2020, ransomware attacks increased by 485% compared to 2019, and by a staggering 6000% in the UK. This goes to show that no business is immune to the nefarious intentions of cybercriminals. At Becks Insurance Brokers, we strive to provide businesses with comprehensive insights on the types of cyber threats, their potential impacts, and preventative actions. We offer tailor-made cyber insurance courses to boost your understanding of the cyber threat landscape.
2. **The Rising Importance of Cyber Insurance in the New Normal**
As businesses adapt to the new normal, cyber insurance is increasingly important as a critical aspect of risk management strategy. Protect your business against cyber threats such as phishing scams, ransomware attacks, and data breaches. While embracing the inevitability of cyber threats in the current environment may seem pessimistic, it is a realistic approach. Take, for instance, The National Health Service. Their 2017 security breach resulted in 19,000 appointments cancellations, costing them close to £92m. Such incidents highlight the need for cyber insurance, which can help mitigate the financial impact of these threats.
