Cyber Liability

Why would my organization need Cyber Liability Coverage?
A large majority of non-profits, executive directors, boards of directors and risk managers are not
aware that their standard insurance coverages (Commercial GL, Property, D&O, crime) typically don’t provide proper
coverage for cyber liability. Most employees and IT professionals don’t know that they (along with their organization)
have an exposure to cyber risks and how that exposure can pose a significant financial threat to their non-profit.
