Cyber Insurance

Covers personal losses from cyber attacks and online fraud.

Personal cyber insurance is a newer type of cover that protects individuals and families against cyber risks. It can provide financial reimbursement and support if you fall victim to cyber crimes such as online fraud, hacking, ransomware, cyber extortion, or data breaches that steal your personal information. Coverage often includes payment for financial losses if your bank accounts are compromised, funds stolen, or if you're defrauded online, as well as the costs of restoring your identity and data. Some policies also cover cyberbullying or online harassment-related expenses. This insurance offers peace of mind in an increasingly digital world where cyber threats are common.

Key Benefits

Financial Loss Coverage

Reimburses direct financial losses if you're the victim of cyber crime. For example, if a hacker steals money from your bank account or you're tricked into sending funds in a scam, the policy can cover those monetary losses up to the limit.

Identity & Data Restoration

Provides expert assistance and covers costs to restore your personal identity and digital data after a cyber incident. This can include identity theft recovery services, credit monitoring, and help to re-secure compromised accounts or computers.

Cyber Extortion & Support

Covers situations like ransomware attacks or cyber extortion. The insurance can fund professional negotiators or pay ransom demands (within policy limits) if your data is held hostage. It may also offer support for cyberbullying incidents, helping cover counseling or legal advice if you or your family are targets of serious online harassment.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's not typically included by default, but some home insurance providers now offer personal cyber cover as an add-on for an extra premium. It's a relatively new area of insurance. Check with your home or contents insurer; they might have an option to add cyber protection, or you can buy a standalone personal cyber policy.

Personal cyber insurance usually covers the financial loss from cyber events (like money stolen from your accounts, or fraudulent credit card charges you're liable for), the cost of professionals to help recover your identity or data, and sometimes legal costs if you need to deal with defamation or cyberbullying issues. It may also cover the cost to repair or replace devices damaged by malware. Each policy can vary, so it's important to see the list of covered events.

Personal cyber insurance is intended for personal or family use (covering individuals). It wouldn't cover losses related to running a business or commercial activities – those would require a separate business cyber insurance policy. If you run a business from home, you'd likely need to look at a business policy for those cyber risks.

Prevention is key alongside insurance. Use strong, unique passwords and consider a password manager. Enable two-factor authentication on important accounts. Keep your computer and antivirus software updated. Be cautious of phishing emails or unknown links. Regularly back up important data. Personal cyber insurance is there as a safety net if these measures fail and an attack happens.
