What is Cyber Liability Insurance and Why Do Ottawa Businesses Need It?
Cyber liability insurance helps protect your business from financial losses related to:
-
Data breaches
-
Ransomware attacks
-
Business interruption
-
Legal and regulatory costs
-
Incident response and recovery expenses
We've seen a HUGE increase in threats over the last couple of years. Just take a look at our cybersecurity risk report for 2026. Attacks are not only more frequent than ever, but more expensive and sophisticated as time goes on. This is a huge part of why coverage is no longer automatic. Most insurers now require businesses to prove their cybersecurity maturity before issuing or renewing a policy.
Cypher Systems works with leading, trusted local insurers - sending our clients their way once we've ensured they're prepared to get the best possible coverage and premiums.
