Claims scenarios
A company employee received an email that appeared to be from a legitimate source but was in fact a phishing attack. The employee clicked on a link and allowed a cybercriminal to extract the company’s data, including personal and credit card data pertaining to clients. How does Cyber coverage respond?
First-party coverage
- While coverage application is determined by individual claims analysis, first-party Cyber insurance coverage can:
- Pay to investigate the source and extent of the data breach
- Notify clients of the breach and what information was extracted
- Provide for the purchase of credit monitoring services
- Reimburse the insured for business interruption and lost revenue
- Provide for PR to protect the insured’s reputation
- Pay ransom to have data unencrypted in the case of ransomware/cyber extortion
- Pay ransom to a cyber-extortionist who is holding data hostage
Third-party coverage
If the same data breach occurs on a third party’s network or systems, third-party Cyber insurance can:
- In the event of a lawsuit, respond to an insured’s covered attorney’s fees, legal expenses, and settlements or assessed damages
- If the insured is a technology business, Technology E&O insurance defends against lawsuits pertaining to data breaches, professional negligence, inadequate or incomplete work, and critical timelines missed
