Cyber-attacks in the form of computer viruses and computer hacks are on the rise. The cyber-attacks that are reported through the news, such as those targeting Ashley Madison, Sony, Home Depot, Target and Staples are also happening to small and mid-sized organizations. A large number of privacy breaches are also occurring through human error or unauthorized access by employees.

Any organization that relies on a computer system to operate or stores sensitive information in a tangible form, is vulnerable to a privacy breach that could cause a third party lawsuit, business interruption, extortion demand or other costs the company will be responsible for. HUB’s Cyber Defense coverage can help protect your business.
