Cyber Liability Insurance is a relatively new coverage that has been introduced in the insurance marketplace.
What is Cyber Liability?
Cyber Liability is a risk for businesses of any size. By simply publishing content online, many potential exposures exist including electronic security breaches involving personal client/employee information and theft of electronic devices containing important and confidential data.
