#  Cyber Liability

# What is cyber insurance?

Cyber insurance covers your business’ liability for a data breach that includes 
sensitive customer information. This could include things like Social Security numbers,
credit card numbers, account numbers, driver’s license numbers and even medical 
records.

Why doesn’t my general liability insurance cover cyber liability?

GLI covers bodily injuries and damage to property which is a result of your products,
services or operations. Be sure to check your policy because cyyber insurance is
usually not included in your general liability policy.

## What does cyber insurance cover?

 * Legal fees and expenses as well as:
 * Restoring personal identities of affected customers
 * Notifying customers about a data breach
 * Repairing damaged computer systems
 * Recovering compromised data
 * What to look for as a cyber insurance buyer

**Many well-known insurance companies offer cyber insurance policies. We work with
the top carriers in the country to be sure your needs are met.**

Like any business insurance, cyber insurance coverage varies by insurer and policy.

## When shopping around and comparing policies among insurers, here are some things to look for and ask about:

 * What are the deductibles? Be sure to compare deductibles closely among insurers,
   just like you do with health, vehicle and facility policies.
 * Does the insurance company offer one or more types of cyber insurance policies
   or is the coverage simply an extension to an existing policy? In most cases, 
   a stand-alone policy is best and more comprehensive. Also find out if the policy
   is customizable to an organization.
 * How does coverage and limits apply to both first and third parties? For example,
   does the policy cover third-party service providers? On that note, find out if
   your service providers have cyber insurance and how it affects your agreement.
 * Does the policy cover any attack to which an organization falls victim or only
   targeted attacks against that organization in particular?
 * Does the policy cover non-malicious actions taken by an employee? This is part
   of the E&O coverage that applies to cyber insurance as well.
 * Does the policy cover social engineering as well as network attacks? Social engineering
   plays a role in all kinds of attacks, including phishing, spear phishing and 
   advanced persistent threats (APTs).
 * Because APTs take place over time, which can be months to years, does the policy
   include time frames within which coverage applies?
