Our cyber and privacy liability insurance cover will safeguard your business against financial losses from online threats like data breaches, malware viruses, hackers, and other malicious cyber-attacks.

Using a range of cutting-edge techniques at the disposal of our digital forensic investigators, Adler Fairways can offer your business invaluable protection against internal and external cyber-attacks.

Internet and networked technologies have changed all aspects of how businesses operate. While the benefits of using internet-based and other technologies are numerous, so are the inherent risks, creating exposures that were virtually unheard of decades ago.  These risks include:

  • Theft or manipulation of sensitive or private information, such as financial or health records.
  • Computer viruses that can destroy data, damage hardware, cripple systems and disrupt a business’ operations.
  • Computer fraud.

What does cyber and privacy insurance cover?

Adler Fairways works with leading cyber risk insurers to develop cyber liability insurance and cyber risk protection for internet and network exposures, including:

  • Cyber Liability: to provide you with protection in the event of a claim being brought against you for which you become legally liable (including claimants costs and expenses) together with third party financial loss from a cyber event (hacking attack or virus) that has emanated from your computer system or cloud provider.

The coverage can also extend to include any fines, penalties or contractual damages you are legally obliged to pay.
