QBE launches new cyber solution

QBE North America has launched an enhanced cyber solution to help protect customers from the growing risk of cyber threats.

The Solution for Cyber Risk offers a holistic risk management solution for businesses that combines insurance with cyberattack prevention services as well as post-breach response assistance.

The solution’s new admitted form has coverage for cyber liability; media liability for digital and electronic publication; data breach notification costs; asset rectification costs; regulatory defence and penalty costs; public relations fees; forensics; business interruption; and extortion and credit monitoring.

It considers risks up to $10 million across a number of business classes including financial services, healthcare, life sciences, information technology, telecommunications and manufacturing.

Steven Anderson, vice president, vice president/product leader of cyber, QBE North America, said: "This solution was truly developed with the business customer in mind. It's a paradigm shift from simply providing insurance to offering an integrated, holistic risk solution that helps improve the sustainability of our customers—making them more resilient to evolving cyber risks.”
