Understanding Cyber Insurance: Protect Your Business Against Cyber Risks In today's digital age, Australian businesses are increasingly dependent on technology.

Cyber insurance provides a financial safety net, covering various expenses that may arise after a cyberattack, including: Crisis Management: Costs for PR specialists and IT investigators Data Recovery: Expenses to restore lost or corrupted data Business Interruption: Coverage for lost revenue during downtimes Data Extortion: Reimbursement for ransom payments With cyber insurance, you're not just protecting your finances—you’re investing in peace of mind. At AB Phillips, we specialise in tailored cyber insurance solutions to meet the unique needs of Australian businesses. Our expert team helps you assess your risks, understand policy options, and find the right coverage. 👉 Ready to safeguard your business?

Warning signs missed by overloaded IT - proves having the tools does not mean you are secure. Medibank had invested in a quality EPP system - that did its job. It detected risks and issued alerts. The problem was that no one read them, no one followed it down to resolution - until it was too late. This is where SMBs are most stretched, protecting their networks and cyber assets from the unknown, while managing day-to-day requirements. The sheer volume of alerts is unmanageable by most IT teams even with a dedicated SOC without advanced support tools. Very few SMBs can afford the cost of building running and maintaining a dedicated 24*7 NOC, let alone a 24*7 Cyber Certified SOC team with MDR, EPDR, and EPP tools along with EITM Threat and Deep / Darl Web analysis. For an SMB to outsource their SOC to a 24*7 MSSP generally costs less than hiring one full-time Cyber Certified SOC operative, and you would need at least 6 of them for 24* plus holiday cover - and that's if you can find them. ISC2 and EC COuncil both say the number of vacancies for Cyber Certified personnel is between 1.4 and 2.1 million vacancies - and rising. And then add the cost of the tools, and the hardware, and the hosting, and the BC Hotsite, and continuous training & cerification. A properly run SOC does the heavy lifting, handles critical events, detects and notifies immediately, manages Incident Response- and coordinates them with your in-house IT. By its very purpose, it gives you and your IT Team peace of mind to know that someone has an eye on the store 24*7. While it would cost on average 15% of setting up your own (excluding maintaining it), It will certainly be a lot less than the fine Medibank will receive for this clear case which can only be seen by the Privacy Commission as a case of negligence. https://lnkd.in/gacrevWV Consider an outsourced Managed SOC - the benefits far outweigh the costs. Rebuilding your systems is time and money. Rebuilding your reputation costs a lot more than that. #ManagedSOC #SOC #MDR #EPDR #EPP #CyberSecurity
