Businesses and companies are increasingly encountering requirements for cyber insurance in contracts, licenses, and regulations. But what exactly does cyber insurance entail, and why is it different from regular insurance?
Understanding Cyber Insurance:
- Commercial policies like general liability or professional liability may offer some cyber coverage, but there are distinct differences.
- Cyber insurance might have limitations, such as coverage for third parties or lower limits, necessitating a thorough understanding of the policy terms.
Market Trends:
- The cyber insurance market is rapidly expanding, expected to exceed 17 billion in a few years from just a couple of billion a few years ago.
- While premiums are stabilizing, the prices of policies are beginning to decrease as insurers gain more experience with cyber events and policies.
Value of Cyber Policies:
- The primary benefit of cyber insurance lies in the insurer's proactive monitoring of networks, which can help prevent claims by detecting intrusions early.
- Policyholders should carefully evaluate policies to ensure they provide adequate coverage and monitoring, as evidenced by the recent MGM cyber attack.
Budgeting and coverage:
- Companies are now budgeting for cyber premiums, acknowledging the rising costs associated with cyber attacks.
- Despite existing endorsements, the coverage might not suffice, with the average cyber attack costing much more than what standard policies cover.
Exclusions and Requirements:
- Policyholders need to be aware of what is not covered, such as internal bad actors, human errors, acts of war, and terrorism.
- Immediate reporting to the insurance company is crucial to ensuring coverage for incurred expenses and access to incident response teams.
Compliance and Procedures:
Insurance companies may impose compliance procedures, such as security protocols and regular training, to mitigate risks and ensure coverage.
