What is Cyber Insurance, and Who Needs it?
Cybercrime is any crime using a computer or network to steal information or keep others from using it. Any company that stores customer information or relies on computers, networks, and cloud-based platforms to conduct business should consider cyber insurance to protect against these issues.
Cyber insurance generally falls into three types of coverage:
- First-party: Covers your direct costs or losses for the investigation, customer notification, lost revenues, and ransomware payments.
- Third-party or cyber liability: Covers attorney fees, settlement, and fines when others sue you for losses resulting from a cyber incident involving your organization’s computers and network.
- Errors and omissions insurance: Typically needed by technology businesses, this insurance protects against faulty logic, code, or other issues that result in losses suffered by those who use the businesses’ products and services. It is similar to third-party coverage but focuses on the businesses’ products and services.
Basic preventive measures to guard against cybercrimes may be required to obtain a cyber insurance policy, while taking additional steps may allow for premium discounts.
