AIG vs Chubb: How Do They Compare for Cyber Insurance?

AIG markets three distinct cyber forms: CyberEdge, CyberEdge Plus and CyberEdge PC.

AIG’s U.S. CyberEdge page; endorsement availability is stated only for selected policies. AIG’s legal footer says policies are written by subsidiaries or affiliates and coverage depends on underwriting and policy language.

Chubb underwrites Cyber Enterprise Risk Management (Cyber ERM) directly. It covers cyber, privacy and media exposures for organizations of any size that handle sensitive data or run a network or website. ⁶Company-reported.
