Cyber Liability Insurance

Cyber liability insurance covers the costs of a data breach or ransomware attack — customer notification, credit monitoring, legal defense, and recovery — expenses that easily reach six figures for even a small company. Many client contracts and vendor agreements now require it before they'll share sensitive data, and California's breach-notification law makes the fallout unavoidable once records are exposed.

Cyber liability insurance is for any business that stores customer data, processes payments, or relies on computers and the internet to operate, which today is nearly everyone. It helps you respond and recover when a data breach or cyberattack hits.

What it can help protect

This coverage helps you handle the costs and fallout of a cyber incident:

  • Data breach response — helps cover notifying affected customers, credit monitoring, and forensic investigation.
  • Cyber extortion — helps respond to ransomware demands that lock up your systems.
  • Business interruption — helps replace income lost when an attack shuts down your operations.
  • Liability claims — helps cover lawsuits from customers or partners whose data was exposed.
  • Recovery costs — helps restore or recreate lost or corrupted data.
