Introducing Cyber Shield

Cyber scenarios that can impact you

Phishing

Debra, an administrative assistant for a small landscaping business, receives an email from the CEO asking her to wire transfer a large amount of money to one of their vendors, but to a different account than normal. While this seemed a bit unusual to Debra, the email looked and sounded like it came from the CEO, so she went ahead and transferred the money.

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS)

Karl runs a construction company and has an employee named Becky who runs the company website. He catches her stealing money from the company, so he fires her and escorts her out. A few days later, the business website is overrun with traffic and customers could not get in, because Becky hacked the system. Karl's business and reputation are at stake. Karl could have turned on Cyber Safety, and allowed the Website Vulnerabilities Scanner to detect places in the website code that a hacker could compromise.

Ransomware

Kathleen owns an HVAC business. One morning, as she is logging into her computer, a popup appears demanding $500,000 to protect her customers' files. The message says that if she doesn't comply, her customers' personal information will be sold on the dark web. She is worried if she doesn't pay, her customers will sue her and her business won't survive. If Kathleen had cyber insurance, she could have turned on Cyber Safety and utilized one of the trusted vendors on their site to help prevent ransomware attacks.

Data Breaches

Steve is an employee of a popular plumbing business in town, and he can be forgetful when he is running from one job to the next. One day, while in a rush to get to the next appointment, Steve leaves behind not only this client's contract but the contract of another client. Data breaches are not limited to electronic data. Physical papers and files that are lost or stolen may contain confidential or personal information that may trigger a data breach.

Telecommunications Fraud

Allie is the manager of a flooring shop in town. Allie considers herself pretty savvy and up to date with today's digital technology. However, one day Allie received a text message from her director asking for confirmation on an electronic payment to a big customer. Allie clicked on the link not knowing she was enabling an unauthorized party to access their system.
