Cyber Insurance is a specialized form of protection designed to safeguard businesses against the complex risks arising from digital operations. In an era where cyber threats are increasingly common, Cyber Insurance provides a critical safety net, offering financial restitution and support services in the event of a cyber incident.
What is Typically Covered:
Data Breach Response: Costs associated with managing a data breach, including customer notification, credit monitoring services, and public relations efforts.
Business Interruption: Compensation for income lost and extra expenses incurred when a cyber event disrupts your business operations.
Cyber Extortion: Protection against losses due to ransomware or other cyber extortion tactics where a threat actor demands payment to prevent damage to, or return of, electronic data.
Legal Fees and Regulatory Fines: Coverage for legal expenses and regulatory penalties that may arise from cyber incidents, subject to the limits and conditions of the policy.
Network Security Liability: Protection against claims alleging that a failure in your network security caused harm to a third party, such as the spread of malware or unauthorized access to customer data.
Data Restoration: Costs to restore or recover lost or corrupted data as a result of a cyber attack.
What is Not Typically Covered:
Outdated Technology: Losses related to the use of unsupported or outdated hardware or software may be excluded.
Intentional Acts: Intentional illegal acts or malicious activities conducted by the business or its employees are not covered.
Infrastructure Failures: System failures not caused by a cyber attack, such as power outages or ISP downtime, are typically not covered.
Loss of Value: Depreciation in value of any data or software is not covered.
Bodily Injury or Property Damage: Physical damage or injuries are generally covered under other forms of insurance.
