Business Data Breach Coverage

What is a Data Breach?

The term data breach has been all over the news lately. It happens when personal information is compromised and falls into the wrong hands. Whether someone is stealing your customers’ credit card numbers or your employees’ tax information, it can wreak havoc on your business. Here are a few examples of how a data breach can happen:

• Laptops, backup drives or smartphones are lost
• Stored documents are left unsecured on your premises.
• A database is hacked.

If you’re a business owner (no matter what the size or type of your business), consider adding data breach coverage.
