Cyber Risk Insurance
“Cyber-attacks” are evolving daily to the point that no amount of countermeasures can prevent them.
If you are a victim of a cyber-attack, what kind of response is required of you?
In recent years, the risk of information leaks due to cyber attacks has increased!
Cyber attacks have become more sophisticated in recent years, and there is concern that the number of attacks will further increase in the future.
No matter how many defensive measures companies take against cyber attacks, it is difficult to completely prevent cyber attacks because of the overwhelming dominance of attackers, who change their attack methods and slip through the countermeasures.
As long as the risk of such attacks cannot be reduced to zero, companies need to take measures based on the assumption that they will be infiltrated from the outside.
Cyber-attack Tactics are Varied.
It is the typical cyber-attacks example such as targeted email attacks, ransomware and other malware attacks, website defacement, DDoS attacks, and unauthorized access by using IDs and passwords, impersonating other people, and overcoming firewalls, etc.
Why is it so difficult to deal with cyber incidents?
Occurring suddenly
In many cases, the damage is suddenly apparent, causing panic within the company.。
No idea how to deal with it
Companies have little experience in responding to incidents and many unknown attacks, so they do not immediately know how to deal with them.
No time to immediately dealing
The company is required to take immediately action recovering from the damages by resumption of business, preventing the spread of damage, and legal compliance, etc
Difficult business decisions required
Difficult management decisions that are not normally experienced are required, such as external publicity, dealing with the media, and dealing with criminals.
Importance of Initial Response to Cyber Attacks
It is extremely important for companies to detect cyber-attacks at an early stage and promptly take initial actions such as investigating the cause of the attack in order to mitigate subsequent risks to the company.
However, since cyber attackers leave no traces of their attacks, it is difficult for companies to detect and recognize cyber attacks by themselves, and by the time they become aware of them, it is often too late.
In addition, the time and cost required to investigate the cause of the problem is a heavy burden on companies, as it requires a prompt response by experts with advanced knowledge and skills in security.
