Cyber extortion is any situation where criminals demand payment under threat to your business's data or systems. Ransomware is the best-known form, but it is not the only one.
Attackers may encrypt your files and demand a ransom to unlock them, threaten to publish stolen data unless you pay, or promise to launch an attack that takes your website offline. Increasingly, criminals combine tactics, both locking your data and threatening to leak it.
A cyber policy typically provides access to specialists who assess the threat, handle negotiation where appropriate, and cover the associated costs. Just as important, they help you avoid mistakes that make the situation worse, such as paying without verifying the threat is real.
The time to have a response team is before an extortion demand lands. Learn how cyber insurance handles extortion, or start a free quote.
