Cover Emerging Cyber Threats as Your Digital Footprint Expands

Cyber Liability Insurance for Manufacturers

Manufacturers are innovating at a rapid pace today, embracing the Internet of Things (IoT), integrating cutting-edge technologies in products, connecting supply chains, automating the shop floor and investing increasingly in intellectual property. While many new opportunities abound as a result of this innovation, new risks also emerge including the amount of sensitive data stored and transacted between parties, which is susceptible to a cyber attack. This is why Cyber Liability insurance specifically designed for manufacturers is a critical component of our ManufacSurance® program. 

Consider the Cyber Exposures You Face

Today’s manufacturers face a range of cyber exposures as result of their increased digital footprint. Following are some examples:

  • A systems glitch, denial of service attack, or other network intrusion results in significant business interruption.
  • A cyber attack directed at a manufacturer’s industrial control system causes business interruption and physical damage.
  • A data breach compromises employee and other personnel records, corporate credit cards, health benefits and third-party corporate business information.
  • A virus infiltrates IT systems, encrypting data files that could only be unencrypted once a ransom was paid
  • A spear-phishing attack results in gaining control of a manufacturer’s ERP or industrial control systems which results in scheduling and workflow conflicts and missed contract deadlines.

How Cyber Insurance Responds

Cyber insurance with ManufacSurance® can be designed to provide coverage for first-party losses, which includes costs the company incurs directly as a result of a covered event. Available first-party coverages include remediation of a cyber incident, regulatory fines and penalties (including associated defense costs), PCI fines and penalties, and business interruption caused by a covered cyber event. The policy also can provide coverage for third-party liability costs, including defense and payment of claims against a manufacturer as a result of a covered event.  Claims range from breach of privacy to misuse of personal data, defamation, or transmission of malicious content related to a covered cyber event.
