Cyber Liability Insurance Policies are not created equal. Let us help you compare what is being offered to help you determine what you would like the best. Why buy Cyber Liability?
It is estimated that the average cost of a data breach is $204 per lost record,* with more than half of such costs arising from lost customers and the public relations nightmare.
*What is a lost record?
A record in this case is every individual effected by the data breach. So, suppose you have information about a family, Husband, Wife, and two children. That can be four records. Your company has Five employees, that is five records. Every Credit Card you have on file, that is hundreds of records. You can see that every data breach has the potential to bankrupt small or large companies.
