What Does Cyber Liability Insurance Cover?

Cyber liability insurance helps your business recover after a cyber incident like a data breach, ransomware attack, phishing loss, or system outage. The right policy can protect both your business and your customers when private information is exposed or operations stop.

Common Cyber Claims We See in New Jersey

  • Ransomware + cyber extortion: locked systems, ransom demands, and recovery costs
  • Business interruption: lost revenue after downtime, outages, or attacks
  • Data breach notification: legally required notices + credit monitoring
  • Forensic investigation: finding how the breach occurred
  • Legal defense + settlements: lawsuits and regulatory issues
  • Funds transfer fraud: phishing/scam payments and social engineering
  • Vendor/supply chain incidents: third-party breaches affecting your systems

Important: General Liability Insurance typically does not cover cyber breach costs or ransomware losses. Cyber is its own category — and it needs to be built correctly.

Do You Really Need Cyber Liability Insurance?

If you answer “yes” to any of these, your business should seriously consider cyber coverage:

  • Do you store customer information (names, emails, payment data, health data, employee records)?
  • Do you take credit card payments, ACH, or digital invoices?
  • Do employees use email daily (especially for invoices and approvals)?
  • Do you use cloud software (POS, scheduling tools, QuickBooks, CRMs, franchise systems)?
  • Do you rely on vendors for IT, payroll, marketing, or payment processing?

Cyber Risk Is Not Just a “Big Company Problem”

Small and mid-size businesses are targeted constantly because attackers assume coverage is weak and controls are inconsistent. Cyber insurance helps you respond quickly, protect customers, and keep operations moving.
