What is Cyber Liability Insurance?

Cyber liability insurance is a type of insurance coverage that protects businesses and organizations from financial losses that result from cyber-attacks, data breaches, and other online threats. In today's digital age, organizations of all sizes are becoming increasingly reliant on technology, which makes them vulnerable to cyber threats. Cyber liability insurance provides a critical safety net for businesses that rely on technology for their operations.

Cyber liability insurance typically covers a range of risks, including the cost of investigating and responding to a data breach, restoring lost data, notifying affected customers, and providing credit monitoring services. It can also cover expenses related to public relations efforts to manage the aftermath of a cyber-attack and to restore the business's reputation.

The scope of coverage for cyber liability insurance varies depending on the policy. For example, some policies cover only the cost of notification and credit monitoring, while others cover all expenses related to a data breach, including legal fees, cyber extortion, and fines and penalties.

One of the main reasons why businesses need cyber liability insurance is that the cost of a data breach can be astronomical. According to a recent study, the average cost of a data breach is $3.86 million. This figure includes expenses related to notification, investigations, legal fees, credit monitoring, and other costs. Without cyber liability insurance, the cost of a data breach could be crippling to a business.

In addition to protecting against financial losses, cyber liability insurance can also provide businesses with access to experts who can help them respond to a cyber-attack and recover their systems. These experts can assist businesses with incident response planning, cyber investigations, and data breach notification.
​
In conclusion, GSP Insurance Group understands that cyber liability insurance is essential for businesses that rely on technology for their operations. With the increasing frequency of cyber-attacks and data breaches, it is essential for organizations to protect themselves against financial losses that could result from these incidents. By investing in cyber liability insurance, businesses can protect themselves against the high costs associated with responding to a cyber-attack and recover from its aftermath.
