What is cyber insurance?

Cyber insurance is a policy that helps cover the financial impact of cyber incidents, including incident response, recovery costs, business interruption, legal liability, and sometimes ransom payments. It has become a standard part of enterprise risk management.

Insurers increasingly require evidence of controls — particularly tested, recoverable backups — and may reduce payouts when that evidence is missing. Elastio produces timestamped attestations that recovery points were inspected and confirmed clean, providing the verifiable recovery readiness insurers now expect.
