INSURANCE IS AT RISK TO CYBER ATTACKS
Financial Records
Insurance companies store a lot of financial data, such as premiums, claims, payouts, and various transactions, which may include sensitive banking details, credit card information, and billing records. This financial data presents an attractive target for cybercriminals, offering opportunities for monetary gain, identity theft, and the potential for ransom or extortion schemes.
Complex Systems
The complex IT infrastructures within insurance companies, which have a multitude of databases, varied software systems, interconnected networks, legacy technology, and human elements, pose a multifaceted cybersecurity challenge. This complexity expands the attack surface, granting cybercriminals numerous way to exploit vulnerabilities, compromise systems, and obtain sensitive data.
Industry Size
The insurance industry's size and influence make it an attractive target for cybercriminals seeking financial gain, data theft, and disruption. Large insurers manage large amounts of sensitive data, possess significant financial resources, and often have complex organizational structures and global operations, creating many vulnerabilities for exploitation.
Technology Reliance
As insurers increasingly digitize operations like policy management and claims processing, their reliance on technology grows, introducing more attack risks. Cybercriminals exploit vulnerabilities in software applications, web services, mobile apps, or cloud infrastructure to gain unauthorized access, steal data, or disrupt services, highlighting the critical need for robust cybersecurity measures.
