Introducing Cyber Protection for Event Organisers

Why Cyber Insurance is Essential for Events

In today’s digital world, events rely heavily on technology—from ticketing systems and live streaming to lighting, security, and payment processing. But what happens if a cyber incident disrupts these critical systems? Whether it’s a malicious cyberattack or an unexpected system failure, the financial and reputational risks for event organisers are significant.

Traditional event cancellation insurance policies exclude losses incurred due to a cyber incident, leaving gaps in cover that could expose organisers to huge losses. That’s where specialist cyber protection for events comes in.

A New Cyber Protection Solution for Events

A new fully affirmative cyber insurance product is now available, designed specifically for event organisers. This cover protects against both malicious and non-malicious cyber incidents, including failures of third-party infrastructure that could force an event to be cancelled or abandoned.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive protection – Covers cyber incidents that impact your event, whether caused by hacking, system failures, or third-party outages.
• Financial loss indemnification – If a cyber incident leads to event cancellation or abandonment, the policy covers your Ascertained Net Loss.
• Crisis response cover – Reimburses necessary additional costs incurred to mitigate losses, such as emergency IT support, crisis management, and alternative solutions
• Clear and transparent cover – Uses standard industry definitions to ensure clarity on what is protected.
• Works alongside event cancellation insurance – This cyber protection is designed to complement broader Cancellation All Risks policies, providing full event security
