Security and Privacy Liability Coverage

This includes the failure to safeguard electronic or non-electronic confidential information, or the failure to prevent virus attacks, denial of service attacks or the transmission of malicious code from your computer system to the computer system of a third party.
If your business suffers a data breach, lawsuits could be filed against you for failing to safeguard confidential information.
Consider this scenario:
A restaurant manager stores employee records, including names, dates of birth, and social security numbers on a flash drive to review payroll records — and does not take precautions to encrypt or otherwise protect the stored data. The manager’s laptop and flash drive containing the sensitive data are stolen from his car. After being notified of the breach, several employees file lawsuits against the restaurant and the manager for failing to safeguard their personal information. Cyber Liability insurance would pay for the defense costs and settlements incurred in the lawsuits.
