Global Cyber Risk Insurance Report: Resilience & Relevance
Cyber continues to live up to its dynamic reputation. With no sign of the risk landscape abating – as demonstrated by ransomware, geopolitical instability
Ransomware claims involve insurance policies that cover losses from ransomware attacks. Ransomware is a type of malware that locks or encrypts data, demanding a ransom to unlock it. When businesses or individuals fall victim to such attacks, they can suffer significant financial losses, including operational downtime and data recovery costs.
Ransomware claims help cover these expenses. Insurance policies in this category typically include coverage for ransom payments, data restoration, business interruption, and other related costs. The goal is to mitigate the financial impact of these attacks and support recovery efforts.
These claims are assessed based on the policy terms and the specifics of the attack. Insurers evaluate factors such as the ransom amount, the extent of data encryption or loss, and the overall disruption caused to business operations.
Understanding the nuances of ransomware claims is crucial for businesses to ensure they have adequate coverage. Policies vary widely, so it is important to review terms carefully and consult with experts to tailor coverage to specific needs.
