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
