AIG vs HUB International: How Do They Compare for Cyber Insurance?

AIG markets three distinct cyber forms: CyberEdge, CyberEdge Plus and CyberEdge PC. AIG says coverage may be bought as a standalone CyberEdge policy or endorsed onto selected Financial Lines, Property and Casualty policies; the forms are not interchangeable descriptions of one coverage grant. ³Company-reported. 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.

HUB brokers cyber insurance rather than underwriting the coverage itself, and connects clients with cyber insurance specialists for a policy assessment. ⁷Company-reported. Cyber insurance product page as read 2026-09-23; the page does not name an issuing insurer.

The cyber insurance page does not name an issuing insurer; HUB places cyber coverage with carriers that vary by client and placement. ⁷Not found in reviewed sources. Checked the cyber insurance product page on 2026-09-23; no carrier is disclosed there.

AIG describes cyber coverage and risk services for organizations and clients. The reviewed product page does not publish a complete eligible-industry, revenue or security-control appetite; a particular applicant’s eligibility remains subject to underwriting. ³Company-reported. Audience stated by AIG on its U.S. CyberEdge marketing page; no application eligibility schedule was reviewed.

HUB frames cyber insurance as relevant to any business that stores data on a network, without publishing a narrower eligibility list by size or industry on this page. ⁷Company-reported. Product-page framing; not a published underwriting appetite.

AIG describes CyberEdge as addressing breach-related financial costs such as response, data restoration, network interruption and cyber extortion. CyberEdge Plus is described for physical-world losses caused by a cyber event, including business interruption, property damage and physical injury; CyberEdge PC is described as excess of traditional property and casualty policies on a difference-in-conditions/difference-in-limits basis. The page says actual coverage depends on the facts and policy terms, conditions and exclusions. ³Company-reported. Product summaries on AIG’s U.S. page, preserving differences among the three forms. Examples are not a promise that any loss or expense is covered under an issued policy.

HUB lists cyber coverage it arranges as privacy attorney services, IT forensic investigation, state breach-notification compliance costs, credit monitoring for affected individuals, crisis PR engagement, regulatory fines and class-action defense from a data breach. ⁷Company-reported. Product-page coverage list; the issued policy and its exclusions control an actual claim.

HUB cites statistics that data-privacy attacks occur roughly every 40 seconds in the U.S., that 85% of data-breach insurance claims come from small to midsize businesses, and that two-thirds of breaches are tied to third-party IT vendors, to explain why it recommends cyber coverage. ⁷Company-reported. Product-page statistics are company-cited industry figures, not independently verified by Spot and not HUB-specific claims data.

The reviewed page does not state standard cyber limits, retentions or sublimits. Confirm each amount and applicable form in the quote and issued policy. ³Not publicly disclosed. AIG’s U.S. CyberEdge marketing page reviewed 2026-09-30; no buyer-specific quote, application outcome or policy wording was reviewed.

Published policy limits or retentions for HUB-placed cyber coverage were not found on the product page; the page instead argues that response costs following a breach can reach the six figures to counter a perception that cyber insurance is unnecessary. ⁷Not publicly disclosed. Checked the cyber insurance product page on 2026-09-23; limits are set on the quote and declarations.

AIG describes cyber risk assessment, threat intelligence, alerts about known vulnerabilities, and a Cyber Resiliency Program. The page says these services help clients assess and improve cyber resilience; it does not promise that they prevent a breach or are available on identical terms with every form. ³Company-reported. Company-described cyber risk services on AIG’s U.S. CyberEdge page; product and account applicability should be confirmed in the quote.

AIG links a U.S. Cyber underwriting application and invites brokers to contact its national product and distribution teams. The page does not say that submitting an application results in a quote, acceptance or binding. ³Company-reported. Application and broker contact links on AIG’s U.S. CyberEdge page; no completed application or binding workflow was reviewed.

HUB directs you to a broker or its cyber specialists for a policy assessment; no online quote is described. ⁷Company-reported. Product-page call to action as read 2026-09-23.

AIG says its cyber insureds can use a 24/7 claims hotline and that its claims team works with specialized legal and forensic firms on incident response.

These service statements do not guarantee claim acceptance, payment or a particular response time. ³Company-reported. Company-reported services and example on AIG’s CyberEdge page; policy terms and the circumstances of a loss control any claim.
