Ransomware at the insured and pressure to pay the ransom

Ransomware sull'assicurato e richiesta di pagare il riscatto · Insurance · Advanced

The case

A company insured under your cyber policy has been hit by ransomware: systems encrypted, backups partially compromised, operations halted. The criminals demand 250,000€ and the company pushes for the insurer to authorize and reimburse the ransom payment, arguing every day of downtime costs more. The policy covers ransom where legally permissible. What do you do in the first 24 hours?

La polizza copre il riscatto ove legalmente ammissibile. Cosa fai nelle prime 24 ore?
