“The increasing number of cyber-attacks against businesses has put companies on high alert and fuelled demand for cyber security cover, specifically amongst SMEs. It’s crucial to integrate cybersecurity into their digital environments, be more proactive in guiding the insured and seek comprehensive support in risk management given their low-security budget, lack of cyber skills, and the rapidly changing and diverse nature of tech and their business.”
