Cyber Insurance

AIG’s outstanding cyber experience and global footprint enable us to issue policies in countries throughout the world to protect businesses against cyber-attacks, ransomware and other related risks, while also helping clients pinpoint and understand their vulnerabilities.

Why Choose AIG for Cyber Insurance?

AIG has been a pioneer in cyber insurance since 1999, when we launched one of the industry’s first cyber security insurance protection programs. We’ve been helping clients navigate this rapidly growing area of risk ever since.

With AIG CyberEdge®, cover is tiered based on client needs. These can include risk mitigation, monitoring and guidance around the nuances of threats and how those threats might evolve. If an attack does occur, the AIG claims team has handled all types of cyber incidents – ransomware, business email compromise and breaches of personal information among them. From the moment a client suspects an attack, we deploy our experience and expertise to guide them through their options and minimize disruption to their business.

The AIG Advantage

AIG CyberEdge® Solutions

With businesses becoming more reliant on the use of data – and regulation around the handling of sensitive data continually evolving – the right kind of cyber insurance is vital. The AIG CyberEdge® end-to-end risk solution helps clients stay ahead of the curve with robust coverage and preventative insights.

The first 24 hours are vital when responding to a cyber incident. AIG’s First Response service delivers best-in-class legal and IT forensics within one hour of ringing our hotline. Depending on the policy, the coordinated response is provided for 48 or 72 hours.

This tried and tested service is an outstanding market differentiator for CyberEdge® and can be used whenever clients have (or suspect) a cyber incident, with no policy retention, without prejudicing policy coverage.

After a cyber-attack, organisations need a range of services to get their business back on track. CyberEdge®’s Event Management pays for Legal, IT, PR services, Credit and ID Monitoring in addition to Data Restoration and Breach Notification costs. When an event occurs, having the correct expertise on hand can result in dramatically improved outcomes – especially when underpinned by First Response.

Our Security and Privacy Liability module responds to third-party liabilities resulting from breaches of confidential information, security failure, failure to notify the regulator and breaches of PCI compliance. This is more important than ever in the wake of the GDPR.

It includes defence costs and insurable fines in relation to any regulator of Data Protection legislation – from the ICO to its equivalent across worldwide jurisdictions.

Ransomware is an increasingly prevalent cyber threat facing businesses. CyberEdge® covers an extensive range of specialist services to combat the use of ransomware for cyber extortion – from conducting investigations to validating a threat to containment, negotiations and payments.

Network Interruption provides coverage for the loss of income, mitigation expenses and forensic accountant costs associated with containing a cyber incident that interrupts business operations. This coverage extends to various cyber risks, including cyber-security breaches, system failures and voluntary shutdowns. 

This module can be extended to include losses from security breaches or system failures at Outsourced Service Providers, like cloud providers or payment processors. Coverage starts from the moment the qualifying event occurs after the waiting period, offering protection from "hour zero," subject to any retention.

In today’s digital environment, it’s easier than ever to inadvertently infringe on trademarks, misappropriate creative material, or inadequately check facts. Our Digital Media coverage addresses these risks by protecting the cost of damages and defence related to breaches of third-party intellectual property or negligence of electronic content.
