Cybersecurity Awareness Month: Why Protection Matters

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a time to recognize the importance of protecting businesses and critical infrastructure from evolving cyber threats.

This year, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) introduced the theme “Building a Cyber Strong America, which emphasizes strengthening organizational resilience and ensuring companies are prepared for cyber risks.

Recent events highlight why cybersecurity is critical. Jaguar Land Rover, Britain’s largest automaker, recently suffered a cyberattack that shut down three of its factories until Oct.1. The financial impact was staggering. Without cyber insurance, the company is absorbing the full weight of the shutdown losses, estimated at $68 million per week, according to Insurance Business Magazine.

This incident serves as a valuable reminder that even large, established companies are vulnerable to disruption and financial losses without adequate cybersecurity. Cyber insurance is not just a financial safeguard; it is a critical part of a company’s risk management strategy.
