Banking accounts should be insured against internet piracy - Wethaq

07/02/2012 14:37 AST

Wethaq Takaful Insurance Company advised, on Tuesday, to ensure personal and business banking accounts against data loss due to increasing attacks of internet piracy.

Manager of the Reinsurance Department Al-Sadiq Al-Tawali told KUNA internet piracy is on the rise, recently, therefore it is very importance for clients to ensure the safety of personal accounts from any data loss.

The insurance industry has played a vital role in compensating and reviving companies and individuals from any loss of properties and finances, he added.

Therefore, banks should impose simple insurance fees on their clients as a precautionary measure from any attempt of penetrating banks' security systems.

He also urged investment companies and funds to be insured against piracy attacks as well.

Al-Tawali explained that what drew companies and individuals away from adopting insurance systems, is due to their reliance on the efficiency of their own internet protection programs.

However, he emphasized that since the internet is becoming an integrated part of our lives, not only on a personal level but also on a much wider international scope, therefore taking up such precautionary measures is a necessity as well.
