7 Reasons to Have Cyber Liability Insurance
If you are like many, you are more connected today than ever before, which is why cyber liability insurance is so important. From cell phones to digital personal assistants, our homes are wired to the max. Our phones are smart, our TVs are smart—even our appliances are often connected to Wi-Fi. While these connections bring many conveniences, they may also introduce additional cyber threats into your home.
Importance of Personal Cyber Coverage
In 2020, we have experienced many changes that have disrupted our lives. Unfortunately, one thing that has been constant is the high frequency of identity theft and cybercrime. Although the news coverage focuses on large corporations that have been targeted or experienced a data breach, the impact of cybercrime goes beyond their walls. Often, the data that is stolen in a breach is personal data on their customers—you and me!
Cyber Security Tips & Tricks
People are more connected today than ever before. Our smartphones, tablets, and personal computers are all connected via the Internet. In our homes, our televisions are “smart,” security and monitoring devices are web-enabled, and even our appliances can connect to the home Wi-Fi. While this continued connectivity brings many benefits to our lives, it also means that we are potentially introducing new cyber threats into our homes.
