Given the scale of cyber-attacks, we aren\u2019t surprised to be hearing reports of insurers applying a “duty of care” test before agreeing to pay out.<\/p>\n
Despite sending chills up your spine, when you consider this, it makes sense as Insurers do the same thing to vehicles, buildings and people. How would your organisation fare in such an evaluation? Are you as covered as you think?<\/p>\n
We\u2019re now all used to systems like multi-factor authentication, and multiple complex passwords.\u00a0 Hopefully we all have password vaults in use, and complex passwords that drive us slightly mad.\u00a0 Likewise, hopefully we are all experiencing regular phishing tests and other awareness tools.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cyber-crime is a big business now, and the hackers have become very efficient.\u00a0 While some of the hack attempts are pretty obvious, others are very sophisticated scams.<\/p>\n
To avoid being scammed, we have to be at the top of our game every hour of every day.\u00a0 The hacker only has to get lucky once.\u00a0 Unfortunately, busy people, with all sorts of pressure and distraction, will be vulnerable to making a mistake, and that\u2019s when your insurance will be vital.<\/p>\n
However, the insurer wants you to minimise their risk and you do that with layers that align to a recognised standard like NIST. (Cybersecurity Framework | NIST<\/a>)<\/p>\n That talks to a number of steps organisations should do, to reduce their risk.\u00a0 The question for the organisations you work with must be to check that you ARE doing these things.<\/p>\n For example:<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” custom_padding=”9px||4px|||”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px|||113px||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|92px||25px||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|95px||101px||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” custom_margin=”-28px|||||”]<\/p>\n This list could go on, and the NIST framework is comprehensive, breaking each of these steps down.\u00a0 It might seem like a lot of work, and it is, but what happens if you don\u2019t keep up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For most NZ organisations, this boils down to :<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|25px||7px||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” custom_margin=”-28px|||||” sticky_enabled=”0″ width=”100%” header_4_font_size=”19px”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We can help you assess your protections, \u00a0and ensure they are at the right level for your business.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_module=”8587″ saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n\n

Are you ready?\u00a0 \u00a0The reality is that your systems have already been under attack, and they will under attack again with more sophisticated approaches.\u00a0 All it takes is one mistake or to overlook one protection and the hackers will get in.<\/h4>\n
