Key Differences in Cyber Insurance

What event the coverage is described around

AIG presents CyberEdge for breach-related costs, CyberEdge Plus for physical-world consequences of a cyber event, and CyberEdge PC as excess to traditional property and casualty cover. Risklytics describes cleanup, legally required notices, and claims after a hack or data leak; it specifically says its coverage does not respond to a model giving bad output when no breach occurs. A business evaluating both a cyber incident and non-breach AI liability should keep that boundary in view and ask which form, if any, addresses the latter. 3 7

Scale and quote process

AIG’s reviewed page does not publish a complete revenue or industry eligibility schedule and directs brokers to its U.S. application. Risklytics says cyber becomes relevant when customer data first enters production and notes enterprise or government contracts can require it; its page cites a typical contract ask of at least $1 million. Risklytics takes an online application and says a licensed producer stays involved through binding. Ask both to assess your contract limits and security profile before comparing proposals. 3 7

What to Confirm in Cyber Insurance Quotes

  • Ask AIG to identify the form, limit, retention, and treatment of non-breach AI claims in the proposed wording. 3
  • Ask Risklytics which carrier will issue the policy and whether your contract’s requested limit is available. 7
