When it comes to cyber attacks, the medical sector is on the front line: easyPRO Cyber, the protection solution

Face à cette recrudescence, une simple réaction ne suffit plus. Il faut adopter une stratégie structurée reposant sur trois piliers essentiels, mis en œuvre concrètement par la solution easyPRO Cyber : Anticiper, Réagir et Réparer.

1. Anticipate: Proactive prevention

The easyPRO Cyber approach begins way before an incident occurs. It starts with a free cyber security scan, which gives you a precise score for the level of vulnerability of your organisation. This diagnosis allows you to identify weaknesses before they can be exploited, thus significantly reducing the risk of attack.

Thanks to the Dattak Defense platform, the insured party benefits from continuous surveillance and real-time alerts to detect anomalies, a useful addition to your usual IT service providers. The approach also includes advanced audits and simulated phishing campaigns, designed by experts, to raise your employees’ awareness of human errors, which are often the main cause of intrusions. 

2. Respond: Immediate intervention 24/7 

When an incident occurs, every minute counts. easyPRO Cyber is supported by its partnership with Dattak to mobilise more than 50 specialists (cyber, legal and crisis management experts) who can intervene 24/7. The response time is under 2 minutes. This responsiveness allows you to contain the attack, to secure your systems and to manage crisis communication so that you can preserve your organisation’s reputation. The support also covers regulatory notifications and the associated costs, ensuring comprehensive assistance when dealing with events such as email fraud, cyber extortion or a data breach.

3. Repair: Financial protection and continuity

The solution reimburses any losses suffered, allowing you to deal with the consequences of the attack more calmly. Cover includes:

• Restoration of your systems and data.

• Operating losses calculated based on the peak of your activity (and not the usual average), vital for high-demand periods.

• Ransom negotiation costs in the event of cyber extortion.

• Legal defence costs and related procedures if a third party (patient, partner) is impacted.

Furthermore, easyPRO Cyber offers you the freedom to retain your trusted service provider in the event of an incident. Their fees will be paid once the quotes have been validated, allowing you to work with an IT expert you already know, while benefiting from insurance protection.

To illustrate the importance of this protection, let us examine two real situations that could have affected your medical practice or pharmacy.

Medical Practice Case: Ransomware attack

A medical practice was the victim of an attack through a fraudulent (phishing) email. The criminals encrypted the entire operating system, paralysing access to the patient files and preventing invoicing. A ransom demand was made.

With easyPRO Cyber, this damage would have been covered up to €12,520:

• €720 for emergency assistance and management of the incident.

• €1,800 for the IT experts’ work to identify the breach.

• €10,000 for restoration of the IT system and data.

This cover would have guaranteed continuity of care and protection of the medical practice’s reputation.

Pharmacy Case: Massive data leak

In November 2023, a chain of pharmacies suffered a cyber attack targeting its stock management software. This led to a total disruption of supply, the theft of over 500,000 insured people’s usernames and passwords being exposed on the dark web.

easyPRO Cyber would have covered all of the costs of managing the emergency (€1,800) as well as the work of the IT experts (€1,800), i.e. a total of €3,600 of cover to secure the system and manage the reputation crisis.

LALUX Assurances’ ambition is to make cyber insurance accessible to even the smallest organisations, thanks to our simplified procedures.
