Cyber

Our Cyber policy protects against the range of risks associated with network security and privacy breaches and provides critical support in the event of a cyber attack.

Increasing risks

Today, every aspect of modern business relies heavily on information technology. While companies are allocating significant resources to fortify their networks from hackers and malware, no IT solution will ever be enough. A cyber attack can cripple a company’s operations whilst also impacting their reputation with clients and stakeholders. Broadening legislation is increasing corporate responsibility around data protection, only adding to the need to have protective measures in place. It is for this reason that insurance is a core solution for any company looking to manage this risk.

Broad cover

To meet each organization’s unique needs, we provide a comprehensive package as a standard offering, and then allow for additional coverages to be purchased as may be beneficial to your organization. In addition to tailored coverages, the limits purchased can also be customized based on your unique exposures, allowing you to pay only for the type and amount of coverage you need. Our Cyber insurance can be bought independently or as an extension to our Professional Liability policy.

At your service, 24 hours a day

We’ve teamed up with NetDiligence to provide 24-hour a day access to help in the event of a cyber attack. NetDiligence can provide a forensics team to work out how the cyber breach happened and fix the problem, restoring your operations quickly and effectively. As your response to a breach can impact your brand and reputation, NetDiligence can also provides public relations support and crucial guidance to help you manage the message to all impacted stakeholders.

Additional support available

As a QBE policyholder, you’ll receive complimentary access to the QBE eRiskHub® portal. This portal provides tools and resources to help you understand your exposures, establish an incident response plan, and minimize the effects of a breach on your organization.

Multinational capabilities
