Cyber Liability
Cyber Liability is a generic term for an insurance policy that includes one or more of the following coverages:
Network Security coverage – Coverage against allegations/claims made by third parties that were economically harmed by a breach in the insured’s network. It also covers identity theft and private information that is made public.
Privacy coverage – Extends network security coverage to paper files.
Digital Media coverage – Coverage for content injury claims such as mis-use or unauthorized use of copyrighted material.
Types of Cyber Liability Coverage
Digital Asset Coverage – Coverage for the loss of data and/or network resources.
Digital Business income coverage – Covers the loss of income due to a network intrusion and/or other computer event that makes the network inaccessible or operates slowly.
Technology Errors & Omission (Tech E&O), also known as Errors and Omissions Liability coverage, is coverage specifically designed for technology companies.
Any individual or firm that provides technology services or products should consider obtaining Tech E&O coverage. A Tech E&O policy protects your firm by providing defense cost and covering potential settlements from any alleged or actual errors.
Sample Tech E&O claims include:
A firm may have a suit arise because the customer is dissatisfied with the performance of the product or the customer’s expectations were higher than the capabilities of the product.
Client misuse of a product can be the basis for a claim. Your product may not be defective, yet you will have to defend yourself to demonstrate this.
You may believe having a General Liability policy will provide you and your company with enough protection.
