Reporting Cyber Damage
If you or one of your customers has been a victim of hackers, viruses, ransomware or data loss, you can count on fast help. Your personal contact from exali.com customer service will be at your side when reporting the damage event.
Cyber Damage: Step-by-step Instructions
Step 1 keep calm. Even if important data is affected. In many cases, data believed lost can be saved. The insurer will provide you with specialists to solve the problem.
Step 2 Please do not take any action on your own. Attempts to fix things yourself (e.g. importing antivirus software or backup) can make the problem even worse and data that could still have been recovered may be lost forever.
Step 3 Gather all information that is important for handling the case. For example, when the damage occurred or which systems were infected. The more precisely you can describe the incident and the more information you make available to the cyber specialists, the better and faster the damage can be analysed and repaired.
Step 4 If you have caused cyber damage to a third party, please log in to exali.com. If you have suffered cyber damage yourself and you have chosen the optional first-party cyber and data risks insurance (FPC) add-on, please contact the insurer's 24-hour hotline.
Step 5 Wait for a response from exali.com customer service or the insurer. As soon as the claim has been analysed, we will discuss how to proceed with you. In many cases the problems can be solved remotely. If necessary, IT forensics specialists will repair the damage on site.
If you would like to report third-party cyber damage (eg because you accidentally infected a customer's computer with a virus), please contact exali.com’s customer service.
