What it is

Cyber Liability Insurance

Cyber Liability covers the costs of a cyber event: breach response, customer notification, ransomware, business interruption, fraudulent funds transfers, and lawsuits from affected parties.

Small and mid-sized businesses are now primary targets — they have data and money, and less security than large enterprises. One ransomware attack or wire fraud can cost six figures.

Real-world claims

When this coverage pays off.

Ransomware attack

Files are encrypted and a ransom is demanded. Cyber pays for negotiation, ransom (where allowed), and restoration.

Wire-transfer fraud

A spoofed email tricks accounting into wiring funds to a fraudster. Funds-transfer fraud coverage responds.

Customer data breach

A breach exposes client info. The policy funds notification, credit monitoring, and the legal response.

Common questions

Plain-language answers.

Is cyber required?

Not by law, but many client contracts and regulators require it — especially in healthcare, finance, and professional services.

Does GL cover cyber claims?

No — modern GL excludes cyber. A standalone cyber policy is the right place.

Will the carrier require security controls?

Yes — MFA, backups, and endpoint protection are commonly required. We help you align before bind.
