Whether hackers have stolen your customer or account information, you’ve ordered goods from a fake online shop or your child has been the victim of cyberbullying, our experts are there for you. They’ll work out how to help you and your family browse, shop, and use social media safely.
We all like to think that hacking, malware, and phishing won't affect us personally, but the truth is that burglaries are becoming less common as criminals increasingly turn to the internet. Around 30% of all crimes are now committed online, and over 70% of these are cases of fraud.
Make sure your and your loved ones are comprehensively protected against the financial risks attached to cyber crime with our personal cyber insurance.
If customers take out cyber insurance, they benefit from a one-time discount of CHF 30. The same applies to personal liability and household contents insurance. Take out cyber, household contents and personal liability insurance with AXA now and save yourself up to CHF 90.

Unique in Switzerland: Private cyber insurance from AXA not only insures you in the event of a claim, but also includes prevention and intervention services.
The innovative prevention services identify online risks even earlier to give you better internet protection. For instance, you'll receive a push message telling you about a hacking attack or about an comment with offensive content, and you'll receive support in solving the problem.
You can activate the prevention services quickly and easily through the myAXA customer portal.
More than 34,000 cyber incidents were reported to the NCSC in 2022, around 58 percent more than in the previous year. Cases of cyberfraud saw the sharpest increase, where here alone there were more than 20,000 reported incidents.

Prevention services cover the monitoring of leaked e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, credit cards and cyberbullying.
You can access via a link on myAXA and enter the details needed to use the services. Please consult the onboarding flyer for more information.
This is where monitoring is applied: prevention services check darknet databases and look for matches with the deposited credit card details in combination with the user's first and last names. Matches are displayed on the personal area of the prevention services and the client is advised by e-mail.
Our monitoring service warns you about dubious sites when you're shopping online. If you activate and use the browser extension, it will flag up sites that have been identified as unsafe and advise you not to order anything from them.
The combination of our cyber insurance from insurance protection with prevention and intervention services makes our product unique on the Swiss market and offers you all-round protection against cyber crime.
To benefit from the services, you just need to activate them once on myAXA. It's easy to do in just a few clicks.
However, your claims are still covered even if you don't use the prevention services.
The prevention services identify negative posts and hateful comments on social media, filter them out, and report them to you.
On request, we can intervene, send the offending poster a warning, and delete what they have written. In the event of a lawsuit for defamation or violation of legal personality rights, AXA-ARAG covers your lawyer's fees and court costs.
Technically speaking, monitoring works a lot like a search engine query. We combine your name and/or profile name with the keywords you specify, and you're informed with a push message as soon as a match is found containing any of the offensive terms stored in our database.
Policyholders receive one account per contract. All insured persons named in the contract can use the prevention services.
We monitor the following for each insured person:
Customers currently receive alerts by e-mail. At some point in the future, it will also be possible to receive them by text message or in WhatsApp.
You’re correct in assuming that they can’t be monitored automatically, which is why we rely on your help here. As soon as you see anything negative on a “closed” social network like Snapchat or WhatsApp, you can inform us via the platform. All you need to do is upload a screenshot and tell us which platform or app it’s from and, if known, who wrote it.
AXA standards were met and all safety precautions were taken and passed (e.g. a penetration test).
All monitoring services are subject to the current data protection regulations, so you need have no concerns about the privacy of your data.
Online shopping: No browsing data are stored. Whether you use the browser extension or enter a URL manually, each website address is immediately checked against the database and then discarded. It’s a simple matter of “yes” or “no”: if a URL is compromised when you type it in or click on a link, you see a warning, otherwise nothing happens.
Cyberbullying: Only data that are in the public domain are searched. We can’t monitor environments that are off limits due to data protection regulations, nor do we want to. The searches carried out for each user are more or less like carrying out an automated search with a search engine such as Google, the difference being that we can pre-filter the results and determine whether they are potentially critical.
Hacking: We only determine when data leaks have happened; we don’t view the content of hacked accounts. There are thus no data protection concerns here. We simply check whether the e-mail address appears in a database linked to the hacking of one or more platforms. The content of the platforms themselves and thus the individual user profiles are not accessed at any point.
Phishing: The same logic applies here as with online shopping, i.e. no data are stored.
Our insurance comprises four modules, each of which can be taken out on its own. Regardless of which module or modules you choose, the cyber insurance for individuals offers all-round protection against online threats through a combination of AXA insurance coverage, AXA-ARAG legal protection, and the prevention services.
Select several AXA Cyber insurance modules to benefit from an attractive premium discount.
AXA Cyber insurance Plus can be tailored precisely to your needs – you only choose and pay for what you really need. Phishing, data recovery, cyberbullying: read about the types of case where we can help you.
