Cyber Liability Insurance

What is Cyber Liability?

Cyber Liability Insurance can address a variety of risks related to the use of computers, internet, computer networks, and electronic information databases. A primary concern for most organizations is the threat of a data breach -- a security incident in which sensitive, protected or confidential data is copied, transmitted, viewed, stolen or used by an individual unauthorized to do so. Data breaches may involve financial information such as credit card or bank details, personal health information (PHI), Personally Identifiable Information (PII), internal communications, trade secrets of corporations or intellectual property.
