Your business is a target. Hackers only need one weakness.

A single cyberattack on one of the UK's insurance brokers could expose policyholder data, claims files and premium payments, halt day-to-day operations and trigger regulatory reporting, fines and lasting reputational damage. Small firms are not too small to be targeted. Automated attacks scan every UK business for an easy way in.

Why insurance brokers are targeted: Brokers sit between thousands of policyholders and insurers. One compromised account can redirect premiums or expose claims data at scale.
