Cyber Insurance: Why businesses can’t afford to ignore it
Cybercrime is escalating at an alarming rate, and UK businesses are paying the price. According to the Association of British Insurers (ABI), insurers paid out nearly £200 million in cyber-related claims last year, a sharp increase that highlights the growing impact of ransomware, malware, and data breaches. These attacks don’t just disrupt operations, they can damage reputations and drain resources.
