"Insuring Against Data Breaches and Other Cyber Threats"

Cyberattacks are inevitable, and the costs can be staggering. Law firms and in-house counsel need to understand how malpractice, cyber, and other insurance policies address these risks. This guide explains coverage options, common exclusions, and practical steps to help safeguard your firm or organization against financial and reputational fallout.

Cyber threats are escalating in both frequency and sophistication, leaving law firms and in-house counsel under increasing pressure to protect sensitive data. Even with rigorous cybersecurity measures, no system is impenetrable—and a single breach can trigger costly investigations, lawsuits, regulatory actions, and reputational harm. Traditional malpractice policies often fall short, excluding key expenses and limiting coverage for cyber-related claims. That’s why understanding the full scope of available insurance coverage is essential.

This guide offers an in-depth look at the range of policies that can provide financial protection against data breaches and other cyber incidents. Download it to learn:

• Where malpractice insurance coverage ends and where cyber-specific endorsements begin
• How first-party cyber insurance addresses direct losses, including  breach response, data restoration, business interruption, and reputational harm
• What third-party liability coverage can offer for claims related to  privacy, network security, and regulatory actions

• How other insurance types—property, CGL, and crime—may provide supplemental coverage
