If you lose quite a bit of sensitive information due to a ransomware attack, what do you do? She answers all this and how to make sure you’re never in that position! Because in this day and age, cyberattacks are all of our problems.

It’s important for HOWs to continue to clarify their vision. Without COVID-19 restrictions, the reason behind livestreaming and an engaging online presence can get fuzzy.

As ransomware attacks have become more and more common, insurance coverage for them has become increasingly more expensive. Cyberattack coverage now requires its own separate insurance, usually referred to as cybersecurity insurance or cyber liability insurance. This insurance costs a pretty penny, so some businesses elect for cheaper plans. Unfortunately, these plans have limited coverage. Our fictional integrator learned the hard way that he’d been paying for an insurance plan that wasn’t going to cover anything.
