Cyber Liability Insurance
Cyber Liability Insurance provides businesses with an extra layer of protection in case of an unfortunate cyber event that causes a financial loss. No business is immune from an cyber attack no matter how well their IT infrastructure is built or how much they implement monitoring and virus protection software, and that's why having the right cyber insurance is not only a good business practice but may be a compliance requirement in your industry.
​

especially those who accept credit card payments,,

information, use software to store client data,
