CYBER LIABILITY INSURANCE
Cyber Liability Insurance is a type of insurance coverage designed to protect businesses and organizations from financial losses and liabilities resulting from cyberattacks and data breaches.
As businesses increasingly rely on digital technologies and handle sensitive data, the risks associated with cyber threats have become more significant. Cyber Liability Insurance helps mitigate these risks by providing coverage for various expenses incurred in the aftermath of a cyber incident.

COVERAGES
Data Breach Coverage
Protects against the costs associated with a data breach, including the notification of affected individuals, credit monitoring services, and legal expenses.
Privacy Liability Coverage
Provides coverage for bodily injury or property damage for which the business is found liable in the event of an accident. This coverage is essential for medical expenses, legal fees, and damages resulting from a covered incident.

Business Interruption Coverage
Compensates for financial losses incurred due to a disruption in business operations resulting from a cyber incident.

Coverage Limits and Deductibles
Like other insurance policies, Cyber Liability Insurance has coverage limits and deductibles that should be carefully considered based on the organization's size and risk profile
As cyber threats continue to evolve, Cyber Liability Insurance has become an essential component of a comprehensive risk management strategy.
