You've Been Hacked!

Dickinson Law Firm’s John Lande and Roth & Company’s Bob Hickock discuss data privacy and cybersecurity at the 2019 Small Business Success Summit.

Knowing You've Been Breached

Cyber Insurance Coverage

Originally, everyone had computer fraud coverage which covered hacking. Event/incident management policy covers notifying your customers that their information has been compromised, and they may have a ransom coverage. John says that usually, they do not have social engineering coverage. You can’t just tell your broker you want cyber insurance because it is not all-encompassing. Ensure you also have coverage for:

• First-party Loss
• Third-party Loss
• Forensic Investigation
• Regulatory Response
• Data Breach Notice
• Voluntary Acts
• Crime/Fraud/Ransom
