Walkthrough of a Breach
Cyber Incident Without Coverage
You get to work on a Monday morning ready to attack the week. As you walk in, your IT people explain that all of your sensitive data has been wiped. You receive an email from a sketchy account saying that unless you pay thousands, all of that data will be permanently deleted or made public.
Unsure of how to proceed, you send the funds. As can happen, they do not send your data back. You try telling the local police department, but they lack to know-how to assist you. Your money and data are gone. The cost of the ransom forces you to lay off some of your best employees. The majority of your customer base leaves because their data was compromised. Your business is crushed. There is a 60% chance you never recover.
Cyber Incident With Coverage
You get to work and find your system wiped. There’s a single file with a smiley face demanding a ransom. You calmly dial your MSP and tell your IT department not to worry. You and 3rd Element get on a call with DataStream. On the call, they inform you that there will be no loss to you. The hole is identified and plugged. Recovery is swift from secure backups.
Then, the police are notified, customer letters are sent immediately. This is all covered at no additional cost. You are back up within the day and compensated for the downtime, your reputation is restored, and life is good.
