This isn’t simply a random accident. Loss due to an “accident” is a basic tenet or requirement for insurance coverage to be available. We are being attacked, and our enemies are very good at what they do. The reality is, you’re probably more likely to experience a cyberattack than to have your building burn down.
We've Been There
The good news is that the insurance markets have come a long way in their cyber insurance offerings. Coverage is extremely broad. Cost for cyber policies continues to decrease. Insurers are getting experienced at coordinating and paying for breach responses for insureds.
