The importance of cyber liability insurance

Cyber liability insurance covers the financial impact of incidents such as data breaches, network damage, and business interruptions. It’s a critical safety net, but obtaining the right coverage requires more than just basic security protocols.

VLCM and Cisco Duo help you implement the security measures insurers expect.

While each provider’s policy may differ slightly, cyber liability insurance generally covers:

  • Loss or destruction of data
  • Damage to software/hardware
  • Extortion demands to appease bad actors
  • Breach incident response and crisis management
  • Legal claims for defamation, fraud, and privacy violations (third-party coverage)

How Cyber Insurance Helps

Software exploits continue to be the leading cause of data loss. Some of the things cyber insurance can do for you in the event of an incident are:


Notify Impacted Parties and Monitor Their Credit

Cyber insurance facilitates the notification process and provides credit monitoring services to protect those affected by the incident.

Evaluate and Fix Security Flaws, Replace Income from System Downtime

Insurance covers the cost of identifying and fixing security flaws, and compensates for income lost during system downtime.

Hire a PR Agency to Manage Reputational Damage

Covers the expenses of a PR firm to manage communication with the public and restore your company's reputation.

Recover Expenses to Continue Business Operations

Helps you cover the costs necessary to resume business operations, including replacing lost income and implementing alternative solutions.
