Who is Cyber Liability Insurance for?

Given US data breaches cost an average of $4.24 million, all-sized cannabis companies should have cybersecurity top-of-mind. Cybercriminals scout businesses with fractured processes and technology, executing sophisticated multi-tiered attacks to infiltrate the company’s network. Loads of personal identifiable information (PII) are stolen every year, resulting in third-party lawsuits, plus fines and penalties from regulators.

Unfortunately, over half of these vicious attacks happen because of employee mistakes, making the breaches and subsequent losses avoidable. Cyber insurance is an evolving policy that helps protect companies against the damages sustained in a cyber attack. Consider the cost of data restoration, credit monitoring, and reimbursement for income lost and payroll spent — it’s astronomical. However, our Cannabis Cyber Insurance policy is designed to cover these specific damages.
