InterMundial reminds us that cyber risk insurance protects tourism companies against potential threats
InterMundial Seguros, a broker specializing in travel insurance, points out that damages resulting from situations like the hacking incidents suffered by several Spanish companies this May could be mitigated with cyber risk insurance.
According to the National Cybersecurity Institute (INCIBE), the first step for companies to reduce their risks is to implement an awareness and training plan for employees regarding cybersecurity, as most IT threats a company faces originate from the human factor. For this reason, they have created a cyber risk awareness kit for employees, available to any company that needs it.
"In addition to a training plan, it is necessary to take other preventive measures against potential threats that put a company's data security at risk, including both customer data and the company's own data," says Carlos Uceda, Product Director at InterMundial. One such measure is to have a policy that protects the company against these types of incidents, such as InterMundial's Cyber Risk Insurance.
This insurance, designed specifically for companies in the tourism sector, combines protection with risk consulting. When you sign up, the first step is to conduct a study of the company's cyber vulnerability based on its type. Based on this study, the necessary resources are determined, and relevant recommendations are made regarding the detected risks. In the event of a problem, the insurance handles the resolution and restoration of the affected data. It also includes coverage to compensate the company for issues such as hardware theft, data corrupted by viruses, or negligent acts or errors by an employee. Likewise, this insurance includes legal and communications advisory coverage, focused on mitigating the damage that a data security issue involving customer information can cause to a company's reputation.
