Cyber Liability Insurance

Protect your business from hacks, cyber attacks, and other online threats

Cyber liability insurance protects your business against the expenses associated with a data breach. We will help you evaluate the data liability risks your business faces and find you a policy that meets your specific needs.

An insurance hack that covers the risk of getting hacked

Getting hacked is not just a hassle. It also poses a potentially huge and unexpected cost to your business. Cyber liability insurance is a specialized policy that is customized to cover many of the risks your business faces from an information breach–and even covers some risks you might not have thought of.

What does a cyber liability policy cover?

A cyber liability insurance policy can help you to cover the expenses associated with a cyber hack. Additionally, some commercial cyber liability policies cover loss of business while your systems are compromised or unavailable. You can even get coverage against inadvertently breaching somebody else's copyright.

What happens in the aftermath of a cyber hack?

A number of action steps must be taken once your business has experienced a cyber hack. These steps include:

Notifying customers and clients of the breach (a legal requirement in most states).

Restoring your business' website to working order.

Dealing with extortion attempts.

Paying damages to clients, customers, and suppliers who lose out because of your breach.

All of these necessary action steps can lead to a hefty, unexpected cost for your business. Not to mention, dealing with the aftermath of a cyber hack could close your business temporarily, which could result in a loss of income.

Proactively identifies weak points in cyber security

In addition to protecting your business against cyber risks financially, obtaining cyber liability insurance can also help reduce potential risks, because insurers will talk through your current cyber-defenses and identify potential weaknesses that you need to plug.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does cyber liability insurance cover?

Cyber policies may cover data breach response, notification costs, business interruption, ransomware events, and liability to third parties. Coverage varies widely by carrier and industry.

General liability may not address data breaches, network failures, or privacy violations. Cyber coverage is designed for digital risks and often includes breach coaches and forensic support.
