YOU CAN’T PREDICT BUT YOU CAN PREPARE.
Malicious Attack Lite
Following a malicious attack, a small business owner is left with no immediate cash to get their business back up and running, no cover for loss of attraction and no funds to cover employees for medical costs, psychiatric help and therapy.
As the security threat evolves, existing insurance cover is failing to deliver the effective protection that business owners need. Hiscox Malicious Attack Lite has been designed with small businesses in mind, going beyond traditional insurance coverage to provide proactive and innovative solutions to our clients.
