Apparently #CloudFlare is down again. Which only goes to further prove the thesis in our article.

But only around 17% of small businesses have any form of cyber protection, which grows to roughly 60% when considering all companies in the USA.

Which means that Sundar may be right as businesses are simply not prepared for the chaos of the bubble bursting.

With the AWS outage a while ago, and the CloudFlare disruption today, relying on a vendor for your operational continuity is a risky proposition.

While Cyber Insurance won't prevent an outage, it will minimize the impact that an outage has on your company finances and reputation.

Who are we kidding. Its entirely our business.

Check your insurance policy.

And no, a manufacturer's Commercial Goods Liability Insurance will not pay you for failing to follow instructions.

Lets say you end up buying the signed Mr Bean DVD. Without specifying this item for coverage under your home contents or renters insurance policy, you would only receive coverage for a normal DVD - $10 or $15.

Which is much less than the $1250 it is currently going for.

Also, our professional indemnity insurance covers errors and omissions made by a licensed human broker.

Your PII policy may not explicitly exclude AI, but it may also not be covered.

And quite frankly, that is a risk not worth taking.

This may or may not be a post in relation to recent news. But it is just good business sense - make sure you're taking care of the risk even when the claim event seems to be finished.
