What is cyber security?
Cyber Security refers to the infrastructure and processes behind an organization's network security. It involves the collection, storage, management, and sharing of information between people and devices both in-house and online. Cyber Security can also refer to policies or activities that protect data from cyberattacks and other vulnerabilities.What is a cyber liability policy?
A cyber liability insurance policy helps protect your business in the event of a cyber security breach. Damages related to cyber security issues can be extensive, leading to legal fees and operational costs that may seriously affect your company's growth and revenue stream. A cyber liability policy provides coverage options for these types of claims with up to $100 million in available limits.What does a cyber liability insurance policy cover?
A cyber liability insurance policy can help cover your business from costs associated with a data breach that results in unauthorized access, exfiltration, corruption or disclosure of personal information.

If your business relies on email, servers, or the cloud to operate, it needs cyber insurance.
A cyber security breach can result in thousands of dollars in fines and expenses for your business. Oftentimes, those affected by the breach may file a lawsuit against you as well. Even if you are not sued or fined, chances are that your brand's reputation will decline as news of the breach spreads, which will affect revenue and growth potential as well. In some cases, customers may choose to leave your business as a result.
Cyber liability insurance can help protect your company from these potential financial consequences by covering those costs that the general-liability policy excludes. This coverage is typically required for companies doing business within certain industries such as professional services, financial services, and technology.
