Agreeing to the usual Terms of Service (TOS) of a given website, app or social media platform often gets glossed over before vulnerable users click “accept”, or worse still, find themselves downloading the latest freeware or files from less than credible websites.

At the forefront of cyber attacks, that include everything from phishing and e-mail scams to trackers and malware, it’s important to consider if investing in cyber insurance is appropriate for you and whether the ends do justify the means.
