Cyber liablity insurance – What are the risks within your organisation?

When considering cyber liability risks one area that should not be neglected are potential losses arising from employees or ex-employees.

This point was highlighted recently following the jailing of a Sainsbury’s IT network employee for the theft of 17,000,000 Nectar points.  The once trusted employee had set up 18 different accounts for himself and had transferred the points in over a number of years.

In another case a disgruntled ex-employee, hacked into his former employers data based and wiped it clean. The loss amounted to £70,000 which was mostly the time spent to reinstate lost information. Fortunately, this was covered by a cyber liability insurance policy.
