⛉ Cyber Liability Insurance
Safeguard Your Business from Digital Threats
As cyber risks grow, protect your company from data breaches, ransomware, and online threats with specialized coverage built for middle-market businesses.
What Does Cyber Liability Insurance Cover?
Cyber liability insurance typically provides two broad categories of protection:
First-Party Coverage:
Protects your business from direct losses due to a cyber event, including:
- Data breach response costs (forensic investigations, customer notification, credit monitoring)
- Business interruption and lost income due to system outages
- Costs to restore or replace damaged data, software, or hardware
- Cyber extortion and ransomware payments
- Crisis management and public relations expenses to restore reputation
Third-Party Coverage:
Protects your business from liability to others, such as:
- Legal defense and settlement costs for lawsuits by customers, vendors, or partners whose
- data was compromised
- Regulatory fines and penalties from government investigations
- Claims for privacy violations, network security failures, or online defamation
Why Is Cyber Liability Insurance Needed for Middle-Market Clients?
1. Middle-market businesses are prime targets:
Cybercriminals often target small and mid-sized companies because they typically have fewer cybersecurity resources than large enterprises, making them easier to breach. Even a single successful attack can cause severe financial and operational disruption.
2. Financial impact can be devastating:
The costs associated with a cyber incident—such as forensic investigations, legal fees, system restoration, and lost revenue—can quickly escalate into six or seven figures. Many businesses struggle to recover without insurance support.
3. Legal and regulatory exposure:
Data breaches can trigger lawsuits from affected customers and regulatory actions that result in fines. Cyber liability insurance helps manage these risks and covers the associated costs.
4. Business continuity and reputation:
A cyberattack can halt operations and erode customer trust. Insurance provides resources for rapid response and recovery, minimizing downtime and reputational harm.
5. Traditional insurance does not cover cyber risks:
General liability or property policies typically exclude losses from cyber events. Cyber liability insurance fills this critical gap.
