Cyber Risks

As technology becomes increasingly integral to business operations, the importance of a robust Cyber Liability Insurance policy continues to grow. The rise in information stored and transferred electronically has significantly increased the potential exposures facing businesses. Protecting your business from cyber liabilities is crucial, given that a stolen laptop or a hacked account can instantly compromise thousands of customer records, or a single ill-advised social media post can reach hundreds in seconds.

Coverage Options

A typical cyber liability policy may cover:

Data Breaches

Companies are increasingly responsible for protecting clients’ personal information. In the event of a breach, the law in Alberta (and possibly soon throughout Canada) requires notification of affected parties, adding to the costs of security fixes, identity theft protection, and potential legal action.

Intellectual Property Rights

Your company’s online presence can expose you to risks similar to publishers, including libel, copyright or trademark infringement, and defamation.

Damages to a Third-Party System

If a virus from your server crashes a customer’s system, or your software fails and causes a loss, you could be held liable.

System Failure

Natural disasters, malicious activity, or fires can cause physical damage leading to data or code loss, which is generally not covered under standard business liability policies.

Cyber Extortion

Hackers can hijack websites, networks, and data, demanding money to restore access, causing temporary revenue loss and costs associated with paying the hacker or rebuilding systems.

Business Interruption

Disasters crippling your ability to transmit data can cause revenue loss and redirect resources to solve the problem, further exacerbating losses. Denial of service attacks by hackers are on the rise, blocking access to websites and overloading servers.

Why Insure Your Business Against Cyber Risks?

Traditional business liability policies are unlikely to protect against most cyber exposures.

These standard commercial policies are designed to insure against physical injuries or losses and do little to shield businesses from electronic damages and their associated costs. With the vast range of cyber risks—from website content to stored customer data—awareness and proper coverage are essential to managing these exposures. The level of coverage needed varies based on individual operations and exposure range. It is essential to work with a broker who can identify your areas of risk and tailor a policy to fit your needs.

You can protect yourself, your business, and your reputation by investing in professional liability coverage, also known as Errors and Omissions (E&O) insurance.
