A cyber attack can halt operations overnight, leaving your business without revenue and facing major recovery costs. That’s where cyber insurance steps in — providing business interruption coverage to help you get back up and running.
During our recent cybersecurity webinar, Jennifer Cohen explained how forensic accounting plays a critical role in determining what losses and costs are covered when a cyber incident forces your business offline.
When a Cyber Attack Shuts Down Your Business — What Happens Next?
What Business Interruption Coverage Includes
If your business is temporarily shut down by a cyberattack, your cyber insurance policy can cover:
- Lost income and lost revenue during downtime
- Employee time or productivity losses
- Manual workarounds needed to replace automated systems
- Forensic accounting services to calculate the true financial impact
These costs are typically considered business interruption expenses, and they’re essential to keeping your company financially stable during a crisis.
How Long Does Cyber Insurance Cover Business Interruption?
Most cyber insurance policies provide coverage for a specific “period of restoration” — usually between 90 and 180 days.
This period covers the time it takes for your business to resume normal operations after a cyber event. Reviewing your policy’s details ensures you’re getting the full protection you need — especially since recovery can take weeks or even months.
Review Your Cyber Insurance Policy Carefully
It’s crucial to review your policy and understand:
- How long your business interruption coverage lasts
- Which expenses are eligible for reimbursement
- How forensic accountants and insurers calculate your recovery costs
A proactive review helps you maximize your claim and avoid unexpected financial gaps after a breach.
