Personal cyber insurance: the smart solution to countering cyber crime
Pioneers in cyber underwriting, Emergence, have today released a whitepaper titled: Personal cyber insurance: the smart solution to countering cyber crime.
The paper highlights 88 percent of the Australian population use the internet and 71 percent use social media[1] providing fertile ground for criminal activity and antisocial behaviour to take place online.
From 1 July 2019 to September 2019 the ACSC’s cyber crime reporting tool, ReportCyber, received almost 14,000 reports. That’s an average of around 148 reports a day, or one cybercrime report every ten minutes.
Over this time, individuals and small to medium businesses self-reported financial losses to ReportCyber of more than $890,000 each day, representing an estimated annual loss of approximately $328 million.[2]
Troy Filipcevic, Founder and CEO of Emergence Insurance said: “Our dependence on the internet, and exponential growth of web-enabled devices and social media has made us much more interconnected, which increases our vulnerability to cybercrime at an alarming rate.
