The M&S breach caused major disruption, impacted customer trust, and demonstrated yet again how even the largest and most established businesses are vulnerable to increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
This incident serves as a stark reminder that no business - regardless of size or reputation - is immune to cybercrime. For many companies, a similar attack could have devastating consequences: operational downtime, reputational damage, legal liabilities, and significant financial losses.
Preparing for Cyber Threats: Why Cyber Insurance is Essential
In today’s digital world, being proactive is no longer optional - it’s essential. Having a robust cybersecurity framework in place is important, but it's equally crucial to prepare for the worst-case scenario. This is where cyber insurance comes in.
