The number of U.S. firms with cybersecurity insurance has risen in the past year — but less than a third say their cyber insurance covers all risks.

Data breaches have led enterprises to invest more in cybersecurity programs. But what about consumers, who often feel the effects of a security breach?

AIG is now offering consumers personal cybersecurity coverage. 

To select the most comprehensive yet affordable cyber insurance plan for your business, it’s critical to first identify who is accessing your confidential data and how they’re accessing it, as this information will largely dictate how your cyber insurance policy is outlined. Ensure your effective policy includes these six key components. 

It’s been nearly two years since we addressed cyber insurance in the Cyber Tactics column, so I decided to get an update from Bob Parisi, Managing Director at Marsh.

New research reveals that almost half of firms with cyber insurance are unsure if their policy is up-to-date for covering new cyber social engineering attacks.

Cyber insurance purchases are on the rise. According to Marsh’s 2016 Cyber Benchmarking Trendsreport, there was a 27-percent increase in the number of U.S. clients purchasing standalone cyber coverage for the first time in 2015.
