Personal cyber protection insurance
Covers you, your family, your identity, your reputation, your money and your time when a cyber event occurs.
Personal cyber insurance is about more than the bits and bytes in your laptop, tablets and smart devices.
Whether it’s how we communicate, purchase items and/or coordinate our family’s busy schedule, we’re heavily reliant on technology. Our dependence on the internet, and the exponential growth of web-enabled devices and social media, has resulted in people being much more interconnected, introducing new risks into our homes and everyday lives.
Cyber risks increased dramatically during the COVID-19 health pandemic as online shopping became the norm and we used digital technology to find efficiencies and communicate. But criminals are also using technology to scam people and steal their identities, with a 40% increase in cyber bullying.
As technology continues to infiltrate our lives, protecting yourself and your family against cyber risks has never been more important.
By making personal cyber protection insurance part of your household’s cyber risk mitigation and recovery strategy, you can be confident you’re protected against the costly ramifications of cyber events.
