2021-04-16 21:06

Since cyberinsurance is relatively new, some business owners are concerned about what's involved and if it makes sense.

Adrian Mak, CEO of AdvisorSmith, a business insurance consulting firm, has pulled together a Cyberinsurance Cost report that looks at what to expect.

Deductibles affect cyberinsurance costs: In the event of a cyber event, the cyberinsurance deductible is the money not covered by cyber liability insurance and the responsibility of the victimized organization.

Number of sensitive records affect cyberinsurance costs: Amount and sensitivity of stored customer data impacts cyberinsurance premiums.

There are a lot of variables to consider when pricing cyberinsurance.

The average cost of cyberinsurance is $1,485 per year in the U.S. Disclaimer: AdvisorSmith seeks to provide accurate and up-to-date information for business owners.
