Cyber risks are becoming one of the most prominent exposures and are fast gaining momentum worldwide.

A cyber or cybersecurity threat is a malicious act that seeks to damage data, steal data, or disrupt digital life in general. Cyber-attacks include threats like computer viruses, data breaches, and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. A single exposure could wreak havoc, especially for a small business who are proving to be the most vulnerable.
