The cyber threats in the insurance sector
A successful attack can have devastating consequences: identity theft, fraud, and loss of customer confidence. In addition, the insurance industry is subject to strict regulations that demand high standards of data protection. A breach can result in significant fines and irreparable damage to a company’s reputation.
What are the main types of attacks affecting this industry?
1. Phishing and Ransomware: Insurance employees are frequently targeted by phishing attacks seeking to steal credentials. A single click on a malicious link can trigger a ransomware attack, locking down critical systems and demanding a ransom.
2. Data Exfiltration: Hackers seek to steal valuable data that they can sell on the black market. This includes personal customer information, policy details and claims records.
3. Web Application Attacks: Insurers that offer online services, such as quotes and claims, are vulnerable to attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in their web applications.
