AIG vs Travelers: 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.

Travelers underwrites CyberRisk Tech as a scalable policy for technology and life-sciences companies, letting a business choose cyber protection, technology E&O protection, or both within the same policy. ⁷Company-reported. Product page "What does cyber insurance coverage for technology companies include?" section.

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.

Travelers targets CyberRisk Tech at technology and life-sciences companies, citing their reliance on digital systems and sensitive data, including intellectual property and patient or clinical information. ⁷Company-reported. Product page introduction.

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.

Travelers says CyberRisk Tech includes technology errors and omissions, privacy and security, media and regulatory proceedings liability insuring agreements, plus breach response, cybercrime and business loss (first-party) coverages such as forensic investigations, public relations costs, business interruption loss and cyber extortion costs. ⁷Company-reported. Product page "How does CyberRisk tech coverage mitigate cyber risk?" and "What does cyber insurance coverage for technology companies include?" sections; exact terms and exclusions are set by the issued policy.

Product page "How can technology companies identify cyber risks earlier?" and "How do Cyber Risk Services support technology and life sciences policyholders?" sections; availability varies by policy eligibility.

Product page footnote on the risk-reduction statistic; this is a company-reported outcome, not independently verified.

AIG links a U.S. Cyber underwriting application and invites brokers to contact its national product and distribution teams.
