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'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.
