Cyber Liability Insurance

September 16, 2019 By coxins Leave a Comment

Cyber liability coverage is used to protect businesses and individual users from Internet-based risks, and more generally from risks relating to information technology infrastructure and activities.

What You Should Know

  • Companies of every size have cyber risks and cyber threats are rapidly increasing.

  • A data breach can damage more than just your computer system. It can damage your reputation and put your customers and/or employees at risk.

  • Most states require companies to notify customers of a data breach involving personally identifiable information and the federal government also has privacy and security rules.

  • Coverage limits are determined by the nature of your business. Whose sensitive data do you have access to? How is collected and how is it destroyed? How many records could be breached? Would you face a PR problem?
