5. Knowing how to recover from a breach

Nearly 1/4 of businesses surveyed reported being "not confident" in their plans to avoid cyber incidents.

One Infectious Link. One Inviting Email. One Intriguing Site.

That’s all it takes to set off a damaging cyber attack.

Cyber attacks come in all shapes and sizes. A massive data breach was set off by a malicious virus that wormed its way inside a company’s computer network. A major hospital’s weeklong loss of access to its email and electronic health records most likely began with a click.

Just think about what this kind of intrusion could cost your clients. Since the average cost of a data breach has continued to rise, it’s something businesses should take seriously.

Fortunately, Travelers can help you understand the cyber risks your clients face, and how to protect them from the damaging consequences. To learn more, talk to your Travelers representative or visit travelers.com/cyber.
