Cybersecurity threats, data breach and data loss have permeated every industry segment, with large and small business vulnerable to hackers, malicious viruses, and network security risks. Cyber attacks make headlines every day, with companies looking to beef up their cybersecurity insurance to mitigate risks.

Over the last several years, the insurance industry has responded with a number of Cyber Security insurance policies available on the market that can be tailored to address your company’s unique business exposures. Making this coverage a part of your business insurance program is key to an effective risk management plan.

According to a 2015 report by Hewlett Packard and the U.S.-based Ponemon Institute of Cyber Crime, hacking attacks cost the average American firm $15.4 million per year, double the global average of $7.7 million. Most businesses don’t have that kind of money lying around, and as a result, nearly 60 percent of the small businesses victimized by a cyber attack close permanently within six months of the attack. Many of these businesses put off making necessary improvements to their cybersecurity protocols until it was too late because they feared the costs would be prohibitive.

Quinton Insurance opened its doors for the first time in May 1996 as a scratch insurance agency in Rochester, New York, which basically means we had no clients. Quinton Insurance was founded by Gordon Quinton, an ex-tennis professional who had to retire early due to a career-ending knee injury. I found my way to the insurance industry like most – by accident.

I remember my first day like it was yesterday. I rented this tiny 100 square foot office and these huge filing cabinets and I remember asking myself, “How am I ever going to find enough clients to fill these things?” When I started there was no Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. There was just the old-fashioned phone book. I would wake up every morning; open the phone book and start calling business owners for eight hours a day asking them if I could save them money on their business insurance. At night, I would go home and have dinner with my family and then I would start again, this time calling homeowners to ask them if they wanted a quote on their car and home insurance. I did this religiously for the first three years. People ask me all the time, “How did you discipline yourself to make all those calls every day?” It was very simple, I needed to feed and take care of my family.

Today Quinton Insurance and its dedicated team are proud to protect more than 10,000 businesses and families; we have grown into one of the largest insurance brokerage’s one client at a time.
