Personal Cyber Insurance

Protect yourself and your family against a wide range of cyber threats

The cybercrime landscape is changing fast.  Today, families and individuals, not just businesses, face significant cyber threats. 

Today, technology is part of our everyday lives. Whether it’s how we communicate, purchase items and/or coordinate our family’s busy schedule, we are heavily reliant on technology.

Our dependence on the internet, and the exponential growth of web-enabled devices and social media, has resulted in people being much more interconnected. And that’s introduced new risks into our homes and everyday lives that must be managed.

Personal Cyber Insurance is about more than the bits and bytes in your laptop, tablets and smart devices. It covers you, your family, your identity, your reputation, your money and your time (wage replacement) when a cyber event occurs.

As technology continues to infiltrate our lives, protecting yourself and your family against cyber risks has never been more important. Take the time and make the effort: diligence makes a difference. And for extra peace of mind, make Personal Cyber Protection Insurance part of your household’s cyber risk mitigation and recovery strategy.

Claim Scenario 

Daniel received an email on his computer allegedly from a popular social media platform stating he needed to verify his account by clicking on the provided link.

Claim Scenario 

Robin received an email on her computer that looked like it was from her bank. 

The email required Robin to download an attachment to ‘verify’ her account details. It turns out, the email was not from Robin’s bank, it was a fake email from a hacker. 

The attachment Robin downloaded was a keylogger virus that recorded Robin’s login details for various accounts including the login to her bank account. 

The hacker then gained access to Robin’s bank account and transferred $5,000 from Robin’s account to their own.
