But don&#8217;t worry about buying off ransomware crooks"},"content":{"rendered":"<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/regmedia.co.uk\/2020\/03\/19\/shutterstock_ransomware.jpg\" class=\"ff-og-image-inserted\"><\/div>\n<p>The National Cyber Security Centre has urged British businesses to think carefully when picking a cyber insurance policy \u2013 but won\u2019t say whether insurance that covers ransomware payoffs is a bad thing or not.<\/p>\n<p>Taking the form of seven questions for businesses <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncsc.gov.uk\/guidance\/cyber-insurance-guidance#section_8\">published<\/a> on the NCSC website, the latest guidance urges companies to ponder security-specific things when deciding what insurance policy to take out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost cover responds to the immediate effects on the organisation by working to quickly restore network systems and data, while seeking to minimise losses from business interruption,\u201d said the GCHQ-sponsored agency. \u201cFor data breaches, there may be legal action from customers or other affected parties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet NCSC was rather coy when <i>The Register<\/i> asked what its position was on cyber insurance products that pay ransom demands made by criminals. Such insurance appears to have been a feature of a number of notable ransomware payoffs in recent weeks, where criminals profited handsomely from their crimes.<\/p>\n<p>The agency would only say it was a matter for individual companies whether or not they pay a ransom to regain control of forcibly encrypted files.<\/p>\n<p>Such advice fuels the insouciance of firms such as cloud CRM provider Blackbaud, which <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2020\/08\/03\/blackbaud_glosses_over_ransomware_payoff\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">got its insurer to buy off ransomware crooks who compromised customer data<\/a>. Those crooks &#8220;promised&#8221; not to misuse the data they had taken and Blackbaud took them at their word. Similarly, Carlson Wagonlit Travel (aka CWT) <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2020\/07\/31\/carlson_wagonlit_travel_ragnarlocker_ransom_paid\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">paid a $4.5m ransom at the end of July<\/a> to get its corporate networks decrypted.<\/p>\n<p>NCSC advice on cyber insurance in general is aimed at non-techies and managers. It advises higher-ups that they should consult with the people who \u201cmanage and run your IT and security systems\u201d before signing a contract. Techies are, unsurprisingly, the best people to decipher the \u201ccyber security jargon\u201d that <i>Reg<\/i> readers know and love.<\/p>\n<p>The guidance also warns that insurance policies bundled with the IASME Consortium\u2019s Cyber Essentials certification \u201cwon\u2019t be suitable for all organisations\u201d. The consortium is the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2020\/04\/20\/mod_relaxes_cyber_essentials_plus_suppliers\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sole issuer<\/a> of the NCSC-approved award.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year EU insurance companies <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2020\/02\/03\/cyber_insurance_fic2020\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lamented that industry found their cyber products too complex to understand<\/a> and opaque because there was little certainty about whether insurers would pay out on a genuine claim or pull the age-old trick of trying to squeeze out of their obligations. As Christophe Madec, client director at French insurance broker Besse told France\u2019s FIC conference in February: \u201cIn liability insurance damages, we know the price of a liability [for] car insurance. For cyber, it&#8217;s a little bit more vague.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last year Zurich made headlines after refusing a claim over a Notpetya infection, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2019\/07\/26\/do_insurance_war_exclusion_clauses_apply_to_cyberattacks\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">claiming a \u201cwar exclusion\u201d clause applied to ransomware cases<\/a>. \u00ae<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a href=\"https:\/\/go.theregister.com\/feed\/www.theregister.com\/2020\/08\/06\/ncsc_cyber_insurance_guidance\/\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Should your policy cover that?
