Cyber Liability Insurance FAQs

Get answers to common questions about cyber liability insurance and digital risk protection.

Does my general liability insurance cover cyber attacks?

No, traditional general liability and property insurance policies typically exclude cyber-related losses. Cyber liability insurance is specifically designed to cover digital risks, data breaches, and technology-related incidents that other policies don't address.

How much cyber liability coverage does my business need?

Coverage needs vary based on your industry, data sensitivity, revenue, and regulatory requirements. Most small businesses start with $1-5 million, while larger companies or those handling sensitive data may need $10-50 million or more. We'll assess your specific risk profile to recommend appropriate limits.

What should I do immediately after a cyber incident?

Contact your cyber insurance carrier's 24/7 incident response hotline immediately. Don't attempt to fix systems yourself, as this could destroy evidence. The incident response team will guide you through proper containment, investigation, and recovery procedures while preserving your insurance coverage.

Does cyber insurance cover ransomware payments?

Many cyber liability policies include cyber extortion coverage that can pay ransomware demands when recommended by security experts. However, payments are subject to legal restrictions and policy terms. The insurance also covers investigation, negotiation, and system restoration costs.

How much does cyber liability insurance cost?

Premiums vary widely based on industry, revenue, data types, security measures, and coverage limits. Small businesses might pay $1,000-$3,000 annually, while larger companies can pay $10,000-$50,000 or more. The cost is minimal compared to the potential financial impact of a cyber incident.
