The reality for many businesses is that
it’s not a question of “if” a cyber loss
will occur but rather “when” one will.

BUSINESS
policies have historically been most often
associated with data and privacy breaches,
today’s cyber policies cover the failure of
technology and the resulting interruption
or loss of revenue. Cyber policies can also
be designed to cover:
•• Damage to computers or servers caused
by malware rather than a physical event
•• Forensic investigations into the nature
and cause of a data breach
•• Legal expenses associated with the
release of confidential information and
intellectual property, legal settlements
and regulatory fines
In addition to coverage for these specific
risks, many cyber insurers offer additional
services to help manage the effects of a
cyber loss and prevent future losses. For
example, many insurers can provide
data breach “coaches” to help insured
businesses better manage their risk. Such
coaches are often attorneys who specialize
in the unique legal and regulatory issues
surrounding breaches and can help insured
businesses navigate the response process
and better ensure compliance with state
and federal privacy laws. Most insurers
also have pre-negotiated rates with IT
forensics specialists, who can spearhead
investigations into what has occurred, what
data has been compromised and how to fix
any identified vulnerabilities.
As they attempt to address a range of
potential cyber risks, especially the growing
threat of ransomware, organizations should
seek to optimize their cyber insurance programs,
coordinating and aligning cyber,
property and casualty insurance coverages.
Working with their insurance advisors, risk
professionals should review these policies
to determine current levels and areas of
coverage, identify any gaps or exclusions
– with close attention to potential implications
of “other insurance” clauses – and
tailor insurance solutions to their organizations’
cyber risk profiles. Organizations
should also update policies as needed to
provide coverage for new types of risks,
including business interruption and cyber
extortion, and re-evaluate program limits in
the face of catastrophic scenarios.
Contractors, like most all other organizations,
rely on technology to do business.
That can be a source of strength, but any
breach or technology interruption that disrupts
critical workflows and operations can
lead to substantial losses for contractors
and other project stakeholders. Although
it’s difficult to remove that risk, contractors
can create effective cyber risk management
programs to reduce it and secure robust
cyber insurance coverage to protect against
potential losses. t
