CYBER LIABILITY INSURANCE

What exactly is cyber liability insurance?
First understand that cyber security insurance has many names it is known by:
cyber risk insurance
network security insurance
hackers insurance
e-commerce insurance
e-business insurance
information security insurance
Why do I need hackers insurance?
Here are a few examples of how cyber liability insurance can protect your business:
Here are just a few items to consider:
What would you do if you experienced a Data breach/privacy breach of your clients private information?
What if your website got hacked?
What if you were sued for not having the proper privacy and terms and conditions pages on your website?
What if you were sued for copyright infringement on your website?
What if your webmaster borrowed information that infringed on the intellectual property rights of others?
What would you do if you had a Virus cripple your computer network?
What if one of your employees left multimedia/Media defamatory remarks about your company or a clients company?
What if your Network security was breached?
What if you were bombarded with denial of service attacks?
What if your clients became victims of ID fraud because of a breach at your business?
Isn't cyber insurance just for big companies?
Have you seen these names in the news regarding cyber attacks and data breaches?
IRS
Wendys
Time Warner Cable
Michaels
Neiman Marcus Group
Apple
Home Depot
Federal Reserve
Please don't think that since you have liability insurance already that you don't need this. You might be surprised to learn that general liability insurance policies normally exclude cyber liability and that means you are not covered. PLUS think about this: If the US government can't keep hackers out of the IRS, or, if BILLION dollar corporations like Apple aren't hack proof, then think of how easy it could be to breach your company data.

Insurance BUSINESS OWNER’S POLICY (BOP)

A business owner's policy, which is commonly referred to simply as BOP insurance, bundles the protection of both property insurance and general liability insurance into a reasonably priced policy created just for your business and industry. Depending on eligibility and the risk level of your company operations, your BOP insurance may also offer business interruption coverage packaged into your policy.
If you're interested in protecting your business after you've worked so hard to build it, InsuranceHub can determine your eligibility and secure the right policy for your business.
Property Insurance
The property insurance coverage from your BOP protects your building/property and contents (both those owned by the company and those in your company's care or control) against damage or loss.
General Liability
The liability protection included in your BOP covers your company's legal responsibility in the case of claims against your business for causing harm to others. This harm can be a result of things you or your employees do or fail to do that result in property damage or bodily injury. Legal fees in these matters can be very costly and the general liability insurance within your BOP helps to protect your business by covering expenses.
Business Interruption Insurance
In the case of a fire or another catastrophe that forces you to stop business operations, a BOP that includes business interruption insurance covers the resulting loss of income and can also include the expenses associated with a temporary relocation.

Health insurance marketplace

In the United States , health insurance marketplaces,
[1] also called health exchanges , are organizations set up to facilitate the purchase of health insurance in each state in accordance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA, known colloquially as "Obamacare"). Marketplaces provide a set of government-regulated and standardized health care plans from which individuals may purchase health insurance policies eligible for federal subsidies.
All ACA health exchanges were to be fully certified and operational by January 1, 2014, under federal law. [2] Enrollment in the marketplaces started on October 1, 2013, and continued for six months. As of April 19, 2014, 8.02 million people had signed up through the health insurance marketplaces. An additional 4.8 million joined Medicaid. [3] Enrollment for 2015 began November 15, 2014 and ended December 15, 2014. [4]
Private non-ACA health care exchanges also exist in many states, responsible for enrolling 3 million people. [5] These exchanges predate the Affordable Care Act and facilitate insurance plans for employees of small and medium size businesses.
Background
Health insurance exchanges in the United States are intended to help insurers comply with
consumer protection laws, compete in cost-efficient ways, and expand insurance coverage to more people. Exchanges are not themselves insurers, so they do not bear risk themselves, but they do determine the insurance companies that are allowed to participate. An ideal exchange promotes insurance transparency and accountability, facilitates increased enrollment and delivery of subsidies, and helps spread risk to ensure that the costs associated with expensive medical treatments are shared more broadly across large groups of people, rather than spread across just a few beneficiaries. The Health Insurance Exchanges will use EDI (Electronic Data Interchange ) to transmit required information between the Exchanges and Carriers (trading partners), in particular the 834 transaction for enrollment information and the 820 for premium payment [6]
History
Health insurance exchanges by state. [7][8] [ needs update]
Creating state-operated exchanges
Establishing state-federal partnership exchanges
Defaulting to federal exchange
Health exchanges first emerged in the private sector in the early 1980s, and they used computer networking to integrate claims management, eligibility verification, and inter-carrier payments. These became popular in some regions as a way for small and medium-sized businesses to pool their purchasing power into larger groups, reducing cost. An additional advantage was the ability of small businesses to offer a range of plans to employees, allowing them to compete with larger corporations. The largest such exchange prior to the ACA is CaliforniaChoice, established in 1996. By 2000, CaliforniaChoice's membership included 140,000 individuals from 9000 business groups.
President Barack Obama promoted the concept of a health insurance exchange as a key component of his health care reform initiative. Obama stated that it should be "a market where Americans can one-stop shop for a health care plan, compare benefits and prices, and choose the plan that's best for them, in the same way that Members of Congress and their families can. None of these plans should deny coverage on the basis of a preexisting condition, and all of these plans should include an affordable basic benefit package that includes prevention, and protection against catastrophic costs. I strongly believe that Americans should have the choice of a public health insurance option operating alongside private plans. This will give them a better range of choices, make the health care market more competitive, and keep insurance companies honest."

State Farm

c M Can't really be touched, in my opinion. My agent, Matthew Yack, has helped me understand what I really need for my insurance. State Farm was also great on my claim when I wrecked my brand new truck in the first week. c M +6 State Farm sold it's first auto policy in 1922 for $11.17 and 20 years later became the #1 auto insurer in the United States, a distinction it still hold today.

My agent really cares about my family and our finances. When my son started driving, my agent took time to show him a video regarding texting and driving and the consequences that this had on other young people. Very powerful video. She also offered rewards to my son for driving safely. This is only one of many wonderful things they have done. They will always have my business. c M Can't really be touched, in my opinion.

Allstate Insurance Company

3 E Vote 9 Visit Website Allstate Insurance Company V 10 Comments Allstate's insurance plans are by far the most comprehensive and at a fair price. You may be able to find cheaper rates at some of the other insurers, but you get what you pay for, I.E. slower claims, poor customer service, inaccessible agents. After being with 2 other insurers I'm sticking with Allstate. c M +2 We love Allstate and were with them for five years and we had to claims with them and our van was fixed in a week and our renters policy claim was pain in a week. Loved our agent, but the price was high for what we had and we had to move on to USSA, but we know if we ever need to change it will be Allstate. c M +3 I have been an Allstate customer for 14 years with a safe driving record and had a very modest increase of $15 increase for the year. not bad for a 14 year period. I carry their best policy with low deductibles c M Allstate is the best company, no doubt. Just because you have a bad agent doesn't mean it's a bad company Savings & coverage subject to terms, conditions and availability. Savings vary.
