Employee error

Employees who are working in unfamiliar places and distracted by the pandemic –and the effects it could have socially, economically, and financially –may be more likely to make mistakes they wouldn’t otherwise. This can open companies up to hackers who use various techniques (like phishing) to trick employees. To combat this, education is key. Confirm that your employees are aware of the various types of cybercrime and how to spot them. Also, be sure to educate them on the technology involved when working from home (e.g. how to log onto the VPN). This will ensure employees are less likely to panic and make mistakes.

Ensure you’re protected

Making sure your company’s cyber security efforts are up-to-date and that your employees are aware of the risks and how to mitigate them is key. But on top of that, it’s important to ensure you have the necessary coverage should something go wrong. Cyber risk coverage is designed to support your business if computer networks are breached. Reach out to your broker to find out if you’re adequately protected or visit ourcyber risk coverage pageto find out more!
