[Video] How Cyber Insurance Protects You During a Real Cyber Attack

Watch this 3 minute video

When a cyber breach happens, every second counts. That’s when cybersecurity insurance becomes more than a policy — it’s your real-time response team.

 

In this real-world example shared during our cybersecurity webinar, an insured client experienced an active data breach on a Saturday morning. Within minutes, their cyber insurance provider activated a 24/7 incident response team, connecting them with a law firm, forensic investigators, and cybersecurity experts like CrowdStrike and Mandiant.

Cyber Insurance: Your First Line of Defense During a Cyber Attack


How Cyber Insurance Works During a Real Incident

Unlike traditional insurance that responds after a loss, cyber insurance coverage provides immediate response and remediation when a breach occurs.

Here’s what happens:

  • A 24/7 hotline connects you to response teams instantly
  • Cybersecurity experts investigate and contain the threat
  • Legal counsel ensures all actions are protected under attorney-client privilege
  • Your broker coordinates the claim to prevent coverage exclusions

This rapid coordination limits downtime, protects sensitive data, and helps your business recover faster.

 

Why It’s Critical to Call Your Cyber Insurer First

Calling your cyber insurer or broker immediately is crucial. Acting on your own or hiring third parties without insurer approval can lead to coverage denials. Your insurer will deploy the right vendors, protect your liability, and handle communications securely.
