Cyber Liability addresses first-party and third-party exposures associated with websites, computer networks, and information assets. Exposures include privacy issues, including breaches of personally identifiable information as well as personal health information, corporate confidential information, virus transmission, data loss, cyber extortion, and security failure, among others.
Traditional insurance policies have significant gaps in coverage for cyber exposures and often have broad coverage exclusions. Therefore cyber liability policies have been developed to fill the gaps in coverage.
