Something as simple as an employee clicking on a spam link in an email can allow a virus to attack your company's information, leading to a data leak. Enacting and enforcing the right security measures can help to keep all of your company's sensitive information out of the wrong hands.Along with having the right safety practices, investing in a cyber liability insurance policy can help your business stay safe.
