Welcome back, dear reader. I acknowledge that some time has passed since I’ve checked in. When things are too quiet here on the blog, that’s just the quiet before the storm. Oh, how the storm has come to the mental and physical plains inhabited by Brinen & Associates.
Given the goings-on since our last post, we need to discuss the importance of disaster preparedness for small businesses. According to FEMA.gov, almost 40 percent of small businesses never reopen following a disaster because just a few inches of water can cause tens of thousands of dollars in damage. I find that unacceptable, especially because it can be prevented in many cases.
Small businesses, like yours and mine, might be in an attacker’s sights. This is a solid reason to transfer cyber risk through insurance. It may mean purchasing a standalone cyber liability policy or amending your company’s existing policy to include cyber coverage.
