When most people think about data, they picture math equations and secret information. But when you think about it, data just means all the information you have about your customers, your employees, and all your accounts.
Many businesses keep really sensitive information online like phone numbers, social security numbers, bank account details, and their clients’ credit card and payment information. It’s exactly that kind of data that cyber criminals are looking for. If you store any sensitive customer or employee data, you should consider cyber liability coverage.

They do this by gaining access to your passwords. Believe it or not, there are a lot of businesses still using “password” as their password.
