Today’s cyberthreats can trigger multi-faceted losses. A serious cyber incident could cause bodily injury, property damage, business interruption, shareholder litigation, customer privacy litigation, regulatory action, terminations or resignations among senior management, and reputation damage. As such, a host of insurance policies may come into play, including directors and officers, errors and omissions, cyber, property and crime.
