What is Cyber Liability Insurance?

The sensitive customer data stored within company servers and in the cloud is vulnerable to attacks from hackers and other cyber criminals. Most people think only large corporations are in danger of cybercrime attacks. But, all businesses that use computers connected to the Internet are at risk.

What are the Benefits of Cyber Liability Insurance?

More than one-third of businesses experience a data breach each year. If a similar event happened at your business, would you be able to pay for the resulting damages?

Many cyber liability policies cover a variety of expenses associated with a cyberattack:

  • Stolen data retrieval
  • Reimbursement of fraudulent charges
  • Identity protection services for customers at risk of identity theft
  • Damage control for your business’ reputation
  • Legal fees associated with the attack
  • And other cleanup efforts

A general liability policy often excludes losses incurred because of the Internet. A cyber liability policy can fill in that gap. It may be the difference between closing your business and making a comeback.

What You Need To Have in Place Before Applying for Cyber??ÿ

Before applying for cyber insurance, it’s crucial to evaluate your organization’s current security risks. If you don’t already have zero-trust policies and two-factor authentication in place, consider adding those safeguards.?ÿ?ÿ

 

Educate your workers about common scams and phishing so they can be on the lookout for attempted security breaches.

 

A correctly implemented incident response plan can help your company recover more quickly after a security breach. Your insurer may want to know about the current security measures in place, so be prepared to share that information. Talk with your agent about how best to reduce your company’s exposure to cyberattacks.

Why Purchase Privacy Coverage and Network Security?

2011 was a significant year for cyber security risk with some of the largest breaches recorded.

So far there have been 535 breaches involving over 30 million sensitive records. Since 2005, there have been approximately over 544 million records that have been compromised due to security breaches. Maintaining the proper care of personal information of your clients has come under heavy scrutiny by federal, state, and local authorities and is a target for hackers and disgruntled employees who can steal this information for identity theft. Can your clients afford NOT to have Privacy & Security coverage?
