Protection & Insurance
Safeguard your finances from cyberattacks by implementing cyber insurance to offset potential losses.
Why Businesses Need Cyber Insurance?
The growing frequency and complexity of cyber incidents impact businesses of all sizes, and addressing these incidents can be expensive. Traditional general liability or basic business interruption insurance policies often do not completely address cyber risks unless specifically endorsed, or they may exclude such coverage altogether. Additionally, these policies might not extend to incidents involving external vendors.
Cyber insurance mitigates financial losses from various cyber exposures, including data breaches compromising sensitive customer information. The market for cyber insurance is expanding and adapting due to the rising number and severity of cyberattacks, along with the consequent financial impacts. The evolution of the cyber insurance marketplace includes changes in terminology, claims history, legal precedents, and risk modeling, all of which influence the nature and scope of the coverage available.
Our Approach
Cyber insurance options are diverse and can be provided either as stand-alone policies or as additional coverage attached to existing insurance plans, such as general liability, business interruption, errors and omissions, or directors’ and officers’ policies. Coverage can also be categorized into first-party and third-party. First-party coverage deals with direct costs to the insured, covering expenses like customer notifications, event management, business interruption, and cyber extortion. Third-party coverage, on the other hand, addresses claims made by third parties against the insured party.
