Cyber Insurance Coverages
Cyber insurance goes beyond a traditional policy, covering financial loss from cyberattacks, data breaches and other digital risks. This course is a clear breakdown of how those policies are built: the key coverages, the parties involved, and the role of the incident response team when a claim is live.
Read a cyber policy and know what will respond
The anatomy of cyber cover in about two hours: the two halves of the policy, what makes the line unique, and who steps in when an incident starts.
- Identify the key attributes that make a cyber policy unlike any other line.
- Analyse the difference between first-party and third-party coverage, and explain which responds when.
- Examine the role of an incident response team and how it helps an organisation recover.
- Recognise how a cyber policy protects a business from both direct loss and liability claims.
