Update on Suit Against Cyber Insurance Company: Crime vs. Cyber Risk Policies
February 3, 2016
Thanks to Bob Sargent from Tennant Risk Services for writing me a pleasant note clarifying the facts surrounding a recent RTL post.
Here's what he had to say, in part:
"Great blog! Saw your recent post.
Thought I should point out that the policy in question is not actually a Cyber Risk policy, but a crime policy. We see this quite frequently, and the two should not be confused. The forms are very different and serve different purposes, although there can be a slight overlap in coverage. And there is a bit of a debate among underwriters where the exposure for cyber crime/loss of money should reside. We are strongly on the side of the exposure residing in a cyber risk policy.
You might want to check out a post we did on this subject on our blog here:
Appreciate your blog."
And I appreciate your thoughtful comment Bob – just one more area of confusion that I am sure is shared by many attorneys. Be sure to read the post above for further edification.
