Although he finally won in court, most of the money he won back went towards legal expenses.<\/p>\n<p>He then bought cyber liability insurance.<\/p>\n<h2>What Does Cyber Liability Insurance Cover?<\/h2>\n<p>There is insurance available for every industry and even public entities. Cyber liability insurance for technology companies covers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/insureyourcompany.com\/blog\/why-your-company-needs-technology-business-insurance\/\">Errors and omissions (E&amp;O) insurance<\/a> covers losses suffered because of an error, negligent act, or omission caused by a company&#8217;s\u00a0work or product.<\/li>\n<li>Network and information security liability coverage protects against the failure to prevent transmitting\u00a0a computer virus, as well as failure to provide access for a customer to an authorized policyholder&#8217;s website or communications network. In addition, it protects against claims when there has been a failure to prevent <a href=\"https:\/\/insureyourcompany.com\/blog\/the-legal-costs-of-a-data-breach-how-one-break-can-spell-disaster\/\">unauthorized access<\/a> to the private information or data of others.<\/li>\n<li>Communications and media liability coverage protects against infringing on\u00a0slogans, trademarks, copyright, titles, service marks, trade dresses, or service names. In addition, <a href=\"https:\/\/insureyourcompany.com\/blog\/important-facts-about-intellectual-property-insurance-for-small-business\/\">it protects against plagiarism<\/a> and the unauthorized use of advertising material.<\/li>\n<li>Employed legal professional liability protects corporate responsibility to risk management while a\u00a0technology company grows.<\/li>\n<li>Expense reimbursement coverage provides reimbursement for the victims of computer fraud, extortion, illegal funds transfers, telecommunications theft, security breaches, and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Public entities can also buy insurance that will protect them in case of exposure to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Personally recognizable information about\u00a0others, such as Social Security numbers, driver\u2019s license numbers, dates of birth, email addresses, and credit card information.<\/li>\n<li>A website or computer information system.<\/li>\n<li>Smart phones, laptops, and other communication devices.<\/li>\n<li>Public employees, when they accidentally or intentionally release confidential information, which is then used for criminal purposes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What Are The Risks Of Cybercrime?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/insureyourcompany.com\/blog\/is-your-business-vulnerable-to-hackers\/\">Businesses are\u00a0affected<\/a> in a big way when\u00a0they are the victims of cybercrime. For example, if a small business has a data breach, it can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to recover losses, not including legal fees. A business could have to notify its customers of the breach and provide them with credit monitoring services. In addition, it would be difficult to repair the business&#8217;s image and relationship with customers.<\/p>\n<p>The right insurance can provide money\u00a0for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Expense reimbursement.<\/li>\n<li>Employed legal professional liability.<\/li>\n<li>Business reimbursement, such as the cost for additional staff, use of third-party services.<\/li>\n<li>Customer credit monitoring.<\/li>\n<li>Legal and forensic services.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Not having these insurances can cripple a business and force a small company to close.
