As more and more policyholders are turning to specialty cyber insurance products to protect themselves, it is important for insureds to get most of these policies. Scott Godes, member of the Policyholder Insurance Recovery Group, shares tips for insureds in Law360’s article, “5 Tips for Navigating ‘Wild West’ of Cyber Policies.” Scott’s tips included: “Ideally, companies should secure coverage for both data breach incidents and business interruption. If there is a denial of service attack or your network goes down, will that be covered? Business interruption coverage is not necessarily included in a ‘standard’ cyberinsurance policy.”
