Most insurance providers are well aware of the potential business impact of cybercrime since cyber insurance is a growing industry segment. But no one wants to have to file this insurance claim.

Insurers do business daily over the web not only with employees, but with a virtual network of agents, brokers, claims processors, and customers spread across locations.  Web portals reduce the costs of doing business, improve productivity, and make it easier to work with independent agents. But they also potentially expose sensitive customer information such as financial data or health information to unknown web visitors.  Any unauthorized access to your data is a serious business risk.
