In today’s hyper-connected world, cybercrime is no longer a distant threat—it’s a daily reality. As more of our lives shift online, cyber criminals are getting smarter. They find new ways to exploit personal data and sensitive information. That’s why we’re excited to share a powerful new tool now included in Aviva’s Cyber coverage: Dark Web Monitoring.
This complimentary tool is available to clients with Personal Property policies that include Cyber coverage, underwritten by Aviva Insurance Company of Canada and Traders General Insurance Company.
What is Dark Web Monitoring?
The dark web is a hidden part of the internet. Here, cyber criminals often buy, sell, and trade stolen data. It can’t be accessed through normal browsers and is intentionally concealed. This makes it a hotbed for illicit activity.
With this new tool, customers receive proactive monitoring of dark web activity. This helps detect if their personal or financial information has been compromised. If something suspicious is found, they’ll be notified—allowing them to take immediate action.
Here’s How it Works:
Proactive scanning: The system scans dark web forums and websites for compromised personal info—like your email address, phone number, or credit card details.
Real-time alerts: If your data is found, you’ll be notified right away so you can take action.
24/7 cyber support: You’ll have round-the-clock access to cyber experts from Cyberscout, a TransUnion company, ready to help you respond to any threats.
No penalty for using it: Filing a Cyber claim won’t affect your claims-free status or your premiums.
More Than Just Monitoring
This isn’t just a one-trick tool. It’s part of Aviva’s broader Cyber Endorsement, which also includes coverage for:
Financial fraud
Cyber attacks
Identity theft recovery
Data breaches
Cyberbullying
Cyber extortion events
With all of these risks on the rise, having this kind of protection in place isn’t just smart—it’s necessary.
Why Cyber Coverage is Essential
In an age where digital threats are rampant, understanding the importance of cyber coverage is crucial. Cyber incidents can lead to significant financial losses and emotional distress. Therefore, protecting yourself is not just an option; it’s a necessity.
Cyber coverage provides peace of mind. It ensures that if your information is compromised, you have the necessary support to recover. This includes financial assistance and expert guidance to navigate the complexities of cyber incidents.
