Cyber insurance

What is Cyber insurance?

Cyber insurance can help protect your company against the financial impacts of data breaches, ransomware, employees’ malicious acts and other cyber events that may affect your network and systems. A data breach can severely damage reputation and customer confidence, resulting in significant remediation costs, regulatory fines and costly data restoration. For businesses temporarily shut down by a cyber event, lost income and related business interruption costs can quickly escalate.

The cyber risks facing your company are evolving by the day, so you need an insurance solution that can anticipate today's risks and evolve to meet the risks of tomorrow. Tailored, dedicated cyber insurance will help respond to this evolving risk.

Why Zurich?

Zurich’s Cyber Insurance Policy provides real solutions for the cyber risks customers face. Our product helps customers respond much more rapidly to the impacts of cyber attacks, with advice and help from dedicated cyber risk professionals.

Cyber risk is a global threat, not a local risk such as a fire or flood. The cyber event affecting your company now may have been launched hours or minutes earlier from the other side of the world. Zurich’s global footprint and knowledge base allow us to coordinate a vast reservoir of cyber risk data to deliver rapid responses to affected customers.

Cyber security vendor resources

When helping your company recover from a data breach, Zurich professionals may recommend specialized solutions and knowledge through referral arrangements with leading privacy and breach counsel, as well as forensics and other cyber security vendors. The privacy and breach counsel will become the main point of contact once an organization believes its network may have been penetrated.

Once engaged, the privacy and breach counsel will act as project manager for an overall response team consisting of experts in cyber security and technology. The team will assess the best course of action to address a cyber event.
