If your cyber liability insurance policy is up for renewal in the coming months, it’s essential to be aware of some cyber liability market factors. The increase in cyberattacks is causing shifts in carriers’ policies that could affect your renewal.
As we have previously discussed, there has been a stark increase in cyber claims in the past two years. The dramatic increase in attacks is causing carriers to enforce stricter cyber security measures to qualify for coverage. Insurance carriers are now requiring their clients to include multifactor authentication, offline backups, and spam filtering in their cyber security practices. You can read more about each of these provisions in our previous blog, Preventing Cyber Claims for Medical Practices.
Adding these elements to your cyber security will safeguard your data and stabilize your cyber liability premiums in this aggressive market. Failure to comply with your cyber liability insurance carrier’s new cyber security requirements by your renewal date could result in non-renewal of policy or incur higher premiums.
Updating your cybersecurity does not have to be a massive undertaking. If you currently have an active cyber liability insurance policy, your insurance carrier can help you navigate the changes and implement them into your operations before your renewal.
