A data breach, hack, phishing scam, or ransomware attack — cyber incidents are becoming more frequent and can lead to serious financial and reputational damage. Whether you’re an entrepreneur or a private individual, cyber insurance offers protection and support against digital threats. In today’s world, online security is more important than ever.
Cyber Insurance
What does cyber insurance cover?
Cyber insurance typically covers both financial losses and specialist support in the event of a cyber incident. This includes:
✅ Assistance during a cyberattack or data breach
✅ IT investigation and system recovery costs
✅ Compensation for data loss or lost revenue
✅ Liability for leaked personal data
✅ Legal assistance and reputation management
✅ Support in cases of cyber extortion or identity fraud
For entrepreneurs, this coverage can also include loss of business due to downtime or customer claims following a breach.
How many people were affected in 2024?
Cybercrime continues to rise sharply. In 2024:
- Over 2 million people in the Netherlands were affected by some form of cybercrime (source: CBS/Police)
- There was a spike in phishing scams via WhatsApp and email
- Ransomware attacks on businesses increased by over 40% compared to 2023
- Small businesses were increasingly targeted — often without proper protection
The risks are growing — for both individuals and businesses.
Why is cyber insurance a smart move?
Because digital threats are just as real as physical ones. Cyber insurance:
✔ Gives you immediate access to experts during an incident
✔ Helps you avoid covering high costs out of pocket
✔ Provides legal and practical support in case of digital damage
✔ Helps you recover quickly and get safely back online
For businesses, it can mean the difference between continuity and shutdown.
