Subscribers of the cyber liability protection plan will get the following features:

  1. Privacy regulation liability – to help make up for possible fines or penalties from state and federal agencies.
  2. Ransomware and social engineering attacks – to recuperate from cases of cyber extortion or fraudulent transfers.
  3. Forensic investigation – to identify the source of a cyber attack and the root cause of the security failure.
  4. Litigation – to help pay for legal defense, even if allegations are false, groundless, or fraudulent.
  5. Business interruption – to grant compensation for lost net profits and data recovery costs.

John Gibson, Senior VP of service at Paychex said, “Cyberattacks present a growing threat to businesses of all sizes, not just large corporations. Cybersecurity insurance can offer peace of mind and be particularly critical for businesses with fewer than 1,000 employees, 60% of which fail within six months of a cyberattack due to a lack of resources to offset the breach.”
