MSIG Malaysia launches cyber insurance to protect Malaysian businesses
MSIG Malaysia has launched Cyber SafeGuard, an insurance product designed to protect businesses of all sizes from the growing range of cyber risks proliferating in the ASEAN region.
In addition to the standard financial protections provided by most forms of insurance, Cyber Safeguard goes further by providing customers with immediate access to expert operational and technical support in the event of a security breach.
It includes support for the appointment of an expert IT forensics company, the cost of a public relations consultant to assist with the management of any reputational damage, the cost of a legal firm to advise on legal obligations, restoration costs, interruption losses, liability claims, extortion loss and regulatory costs.
There are also various optional enhancements that customers can choose to enhance their protection based upon their circumstances and needs.
The insurance is available to businesses of all sizes and the premium will depend on the scale of coverage required, as well as the current status of the business in relation to its data management and business continuity systems.
