Cyber liability coverage is affordable; the threat is real

WHY YOU NEED CYBER LIABILITY COVERAGE
Cybercrime has been steadily growing in recent years with data breaches becoming a regular occurrence and impacting businesses of all sizes and industry types. If you maintain personal information of employees, customers, patients, students, vendors, volunteers or others — whether in the cloud or on a network you are at risk. Here are some basic operational computing tasks that put businesses, schools, hospitals, non-profits, and municipalities at risk of a cyber breach:

  • Use email?
  • Rely on networks, computers and electronic data to conduct business?
  • Browse the internet or have your own website?
  • Handle valuable or personal information on yours or another’s network?
  • Participate in e-Commerce or take online orders?
  • Use your network to control production, manufacturing, inventory or a supply chain?
  • Interact or collaborate with others (clients, suppliers, partners, or the public) via the internet?
  • Advertise or promote your business online, or publish digital content?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you face a potential cyber risk and should insure against cyber liability.

CYBER EVENTS THAT CAN TRIGGER NEED FOR COVERAGE

  • Lost/stolen portable computers, media, back-up
  • Computer hacking
  • Employee misuse/mistake
  • Computer/application glitch
  • Vendor negligence
  • Improper disposal of paper records or computer equipment

SENSITIVE PERSONAL DATA COMPROMISED BY DATA BREACHES

  • Credit card information
  • Personal financial information
  • Personal health information
  • Business information of others
  • Confidential customer data

TYPICAL ALLEGATIONS AND COST OF DATA BREACH

  • Failure to protect customer information/privacy
  • Failure to notify or timely notification
  • Cost to cancel or reissue payment cards/open new accounts
  • Costs of fraudulent purchase
  • Cost of credit monitoring
  • Regulatory Actions – penalties & fines

WHAT THE CYBER LIABILITY COVERAGE PROVIDES
Your cyber liability policy can be tailored to include:

  • Third-party liability insurance coverage in response to the unauthorized access, theft of or destruction of data, denial of service attacks and virus transmission.
  • Theft of personally identifiable non-public information.
  • Liability arising from failure to comply with state breach notice laws.
  • Privacy breach notification costs and credit monitoring services.
  • Defense costs for regulatory proceedings and penalties resulting from privacy incidents when allowable by law.
  • First party coverage including coverage for destruction and loss of data, as well as network business interruption and cyber extortion.
