7) Bad People Want Your Data
Data security breaches used to be what
happened in other industries. Unfortunately,
hackers are selling stolen health information
several times more often than information
from stolen credit cards. As more and more

and casualty insurance coverage won’t be

to mitigate risk of a security breach while
insuring you’re protected if it happens.
