Cyber Liability Insurance
Protecting your business starts with reliable coverage and a broker who understands the Insurance market.
Cyber Liability Insurance
Cyber liability insurance helps protect businesses from financial loss and legal liability resulting from data breaches, cyberattacks, or other technology-related incidents. As businesses rely more on digital systems to manage operations, customer data, and communication, exposure to cyber risk has become a significant concern across all industries.
A cyber incident can lead to costs related to data recovery, system downtime, regulatory fines, and reputational damage. Cyber liability coverage provides the resources and financial protection needed to respond effectively.
What Cyber Liability Covers
Cyber insurance typically includes two main areas of protection: first-party and third-party coverage.
First-Party Coverage helps pay for costs your business directly incurs after a cyber event, including:
Data restoration and recovery after a breach or ransomware attack
Business interruption losses caused by system outages
Cyber extortion or ransomware payments (when permitted by law)
Costs of notifying affected individuals and providing credit monitoring
Crisis management, public relations, and forensic investigation expenses
Third-Party Coverage protects against liability claims made by others, such as:
Lawsuits or regulatory actions alleging failure to protect personal data
Defense costs and settlements related to privacy violations
Claims from customers or vendors who suffered losses due to your system compromise
Common Cyber Threats
Cyber risks can affect businesses of any size. Common types of incidents include:
Phishing or social engineering attacks that trick employees into transferring funds or revealing credentials
Ransomware and malware that disable access to files or systems until payment is made
Data breaches exposing sensitive customer, employee, or financial information
Unauthorized access to business email accounts or networks
Denial-of-service (DoS) attacks that interrupt normal business operations
Policy Considerations
Cyber liability policies can vary significantly by insurer. When evaluating coverage, businesses should consider:
Coverage limits and sublimits for data restoration, extortion, and legal expenses
Whether social engineering or fraudulent transfer coverage is included
Waiting periods and coverage triggers for business interruption losses
Requirements for security controls such as multi-factor authentication or encryption
Cyber coverage can often be added to an existing policy or purchased as a standalone form depending on business needs and risk profile.
