What Is Cyber Insurance?
Cyber insurance is often referred to as cyber risk insurance or cyber liability insurance. This type of coverage could help protect your business against computer-related crimes and losses including data breaches, network security attacks, and other various technology-related risks.
If your business computer system is compromised by a targeted or an accidental attack, your business might be responsible for costs related to responding to the attack. Cyber insurance may cover expenses for notifying customers and affected parties as well as legal fees.
Cyber insurance from PolicySweet® is included in our Business Owners Policy (BOP). General liability and property insurance are two other types of insurance that are part of our BOP coverage. All three coverages are combined into one package to help protect businesses from multiple risks.

Cyber insurance can help a business respond quickly to recover lost files and income after a data breach or cyberattack.

- Addresses
- Credit card or bank information
- Customer names
- Driver license numbers and information

A cyberattack or network failure can not only be inconvenient, but it can impact your business financially and put your employees and customers at risk. Cyber insurance could help to reduce the impacts of a claim and may cover costs related to data restoration, legal fees, and notifying customers.
