Cyber insurance can help cover the costs of a cyberattack, from business interruption to system recovery. However, purchasing a policy does not guarantee compensation.

If a company fails to meet the policy requirements, reports security measures that are not actually in place, or fails to report an incident as required, the insurer may question whether the claim is covered.

That is why it is important to verify that the required security measures are operational and that the company can provide evidence of their implementation.

The cosmetics manufacturing industry relies on connected systems that can be affected by a cyberattack, putting production, product formulas, and commercial data at risk.

A cyberattack can disrupt essential business operations within minutes. Billing, shipping, customer service, and access to information can all be affected if systems become unavailable.

A cyberattack doesn’t always start with ransomware locking every device or a screen warning that your data has been encrypted. In many cases, the first signs are much less obvious: a login from an unexpected location, an account downloading an unusually large amount of information, or connections between systems that are not part of normal activity.

A company can have antivirus, a firewall,backupsand multiple security tools and still be exposed. The difference is not only in the technologies used, but in how access is managed, threats are detected, incidents are handled, and operations are restored.

Beauty quizzes related to skin type have become a common tool for personalizing product recommendations in the cosmetics industry. In addition to being a useful tool for consumers before purchasing a product, companies use these quizzes to collect information about habits, skin characteristics, preferences, and even health-related data.

More and more companies require their suppliers to demonstrate that they adequately protect the information they manage. This is not a minor issue: according to the Cost of a Data Breach 2026 report from IBM and the Ponemon Institute, the average global cost of a data breach reached $4.99 million, 12% higher than the previous year. This reality has made cybersecurity a key factor in maintaining the trust of customers and partners.

In Spain, cyberattacks increased by 66% during the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period of the previous year. In addition, a business interruption can cost between €4,000 and €7,500 per minute, while companies take 25% longer than expected to recover after an incident.

A cyberattack can go from being a technical problem to a business disruption in a matter of minutes. A systems outage can affect billing, production, logistics, customer service, and access to information, while the company continues to incur its usual operating costs.

A company can go from operating normally to having its systems locked down within hours. When ransomware encrypts servers, devices, or shared drives, every minute counts to contain the attack, restore operations, and determine what information may have been exposed.

Ransomware is no longer just an IT problem. In Europe, ransomware attacks have increased by 116% in recent periods, while the average cost of a data breach reaches $3.9 million. In addition, a business disruption can cost between €4,000 and €7,500 per minute.

Looking ahead to 2027, businesses will face an environment where artificial intelligence is enabling increasingly sophisticated attacks, while regulations are demanding greater prevention, detection, and response capabilities.

Cybersecurity will increasingly become more than a purely technical issue. For many organizations, it will be a necessary condition for maintaining operations, meeting regulatory obligations, and demonstrating to customers and suppliers that adequate security measures are in place.

The challenge will not simply be protecting against new threats, but also demonstrating that security measures work, risks are under control, and the organization can respond when an incident occurs. That is why anticipating these trends will be key to determining where to invest and which capabilities to strengthen over the coming years.
