AIG vs WTW: 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.

Under WTW's North American Corporate Risk & Broking terms, WTW normally acts as the client's insurance intermediary for engagements governed by those terms. ⁹Company-reported. Terms for applicable North American Corporate Risk & Broking engagements. WTW also discloses separate insurer-side services in some arrangements; this does not determine the role in a specific engagement.

The reviewed WTW sources do not identify an issuing insurer for a specific cyber placement. ^9,8,5Not publicly disclosed. This is a gap in the cited marketing, annual-report, and brokerage materials; it does not mean WTW lacks insurer markets. Confirm the carrier on the quote and issued policy.

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.

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.

WTW's FY2024 annual report lists cyber insurance among FINEX solutions; its Digital Infrastructure Protector describes cyber protection as one part of a broader data-center solution. ^8,5Company-reported. Historical group-level FINEX capability and a separately scoped data-center solution; neither source establishes current standalone cyber terms or eligibility.

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.

The reviewed sources do not state a buyer-specific cyber limit, retention, or deductible. ^9,8,5Not publicly disclosed. No limit or deductible is inferred from general marketing or WTW's brokerage role; the insurer's quote and issued forms control.

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.

WTW's North American terms describe reviewing binders, policies, and endorsements against the terms negotiated with the insurer. ⁹Company-reported. Broker document-review process under the cited terms, when WTW handles this line's placement. It does not certify that a policy covers a claim or replace the issued wording.

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.

WTW's North American terms say an insurer quote is not confirmation of coverage; if the client orders binding, WTW seeks a formal insurer commitment, typically a binder. ⁹Company-reported. Applies to placements governed by the cited North American Corporate Risk & Broking terms. It does not establish a self-service quote route or promise coverage availability for this line.

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. AIG’s example also describes assistance with regulatory disclosures and notifications. 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.
