Startup Coverage

Cyber Liability.

A ransomware attack, cloud outage, or data breach can cost a startup more than a lawsuit — it can end the company. Cyber Liability insurance covers first-party breach response costs, regulatory defense, business interruption losses, and third-party claims from affected customers and partners. Coverage activates whether the incident originates from an external attack or an internal error.
