Cyber Liability Insurance as a Business Essential
  • Cyber liability insurance is now considered a necessary coverage for responsible businesses, akin to fire and workers’ compensation insurance.

Misconceptions About Cyber Risk

  • Cyber attacks can have devastating effects; up to 60% of businesses hit by a major cyber attack close within two years.
Standalone Cyber Insurance Policies

  • Businesses are advised to consult experienced insurance brokers to assess cyber coverage levels.
Executive Responsibility in Cyber Risk Management
  • Executives are encouraged to advocate for cyber coverage and inform boards about the growing risks and need for robust insurance.
  • Maintaining cyber insurance is not just an expense; it’s a strategic investment for business growth, safeguarding sales, marketing, and business development.
Cyber Insurance as a Condition of Doing Business
  • Meeting security standards is often required to qualify for a comprehensive cyber insurance policy.
