Are you meeting the requirements of your Cyber Insurer?  (And are you minimising your risk anyway?)

Are you meeting the requirements of your Cyber Insurer?  (And are you minimising your risk anyway?)

by Andrew Hunt | Jul 14, 2022 | IT News & Insights New Zealand | Cybersecurity, AI & Microsoft Updates, Security

Given the scale of cyber-attacks, we aren’t surprised to be hearing reports of insurers applying a “duty of care” test before agreeing to pay out. Despite sending chills up your spine, when you consider this, it makes sense as Insurers do the same thing to...
