How to get your cyber liability insurance ALIGNED…
Every second counts. When it comes to cyber security, the time it takes to click open a phishing link might be all it takes to put your business – of any size – at significant risk. Cyber hackers have stepped up their game. And Canadian businesses are stepping up their cyber security protocols and risk management activities to keep pace with growing liability threats.
Member-based non-profit CIRA (the Canadian Internet Registration Authority) reports:
- “40 per cent of respondents experienced a cyber-attack in the last 12 months. Among large businesses, 250-499 employees, this number increases to 66 percent. Overall, one in ten experienced 20 or more attacks.
- 67 per cent of respondents outsource at least part of the cybersecurity footprint to external vendors.
- One-third of respondents indicated that the most significant impact of a cyber-attack is the time and resources required to respond to the incident.”1

From website content to client data in your business cloud, cyber exposures are everywhere. It is important to understand that a traditional business liability policy is extremely unlikely to provide comprehensive protection when it comes to most cyber risks. In fact, a commercial general liability aka CGL policy most often explicitly excludes such coverage.
[DYK?] The current Canadian insurance market offers good value to first-time buyers of cyber liability coverage.
