New Cyber Insurance and Data Breach Prevention Tools Made Available by USHCC to Help Business Owners Combat Surge in Cyber Attacks

Washington, D.C., Oct. 19, 2017 -- USHCC is proud to announce a new member benefits package. Members can now access a suite of discounted cyber and data breach solutions to help them meet the growing demand for cyber and data breach prevention, insurance and compliance. The program is made available through a new partnership with 360 Coverage Pros. 

360 Coverage Pros, powered by Gallagher Affinity, will now offer members access to a Business Cyber Risk Assessment, ongoing Data Breach Compliance & Prevention services, plus access to Cyber Insurance options offered by industry leading insurance companies. These programs can help members protect their business against the high costs associated with cyber or other types of data breaches. The programs are affordable, simple for businesses to purchase and are specific to today’s cyber and data breach risks faced by business owners. Members will also have access to a wide range of resources designed to help them prevent data breaches, as well as how to respond.

“The increase in cyber-attacks on small businesses is a growing concern among our members,” states United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce President & CEO Javier Palomarez. “Small businesses are often less prepared and can be catastrophically impacted by cyber threats and breaches. They are seeking information, resources and solutions to protect themselves and their customers.”

Cyber criminals have been increasingly targeting small businesses in recent years, viewing them as easy targets due to their lack of significant IT expenditures, and preparation for cyber-attacks.

“The impact of not being prepared for, or taking steps to prevent a data breach (or having Cyber Insurance in place to protect against loss) can be devastating for a small business,” states Scott Reid, National Director of Cyber Insurance Programs for the 360 Coverage Pros program. “With these new Cyber and Data Breach Insurance options, and the compliance and prevention tools, USHCC members now have easy access to solutions that can help them manage their cyber risk, maintain cyber security best practices and mitigate the damage done to their business by a data breach.” Other benefits include a dedicated Breach Response hotline and the ability to point, click and buy any of the programs in minutes, directly from the USHCC member benefits website.
