Beazley vs HUB International Cyber Insurance

For small businesses, Beazley sells cyber coverage two ways: as Full Spectrum Cyber, built around its Beazley Breach Response product plus integrated risk-management services from its in-house Beazley Security unit, and as the cyber component bundled inside the broader MediaTech form alongside tech E&O, professional E&O and media liability. ^5,1Company-reported. US small-business product pages for Full Spectrum Cyber and MediaTech; does not address any larger-account cyber program Beazley may write separately.

HUB brokers cyber insurance rather than underwriting the coverage itself, and connects clients with cyber insurance specialists for a policy assessment. ¹¹Company-reported. Cyber insurance product page as read 2026-09-23; the page does not name an issuing insurer.

The Full Spectrum Cyber page does not name an issuing insurer. Beazley's Digital MediaTech Application, which bundles a cyber insuring agreement, names Beazley Insurance Company, Inc. on its cover page, but the actual issuing entity for a stand-alone cyber quote is not established by the reviewed pages. ^5,7Not found in reviewed sources. Full Spectrum Cyber product page and MediaTech application form, both checked on 2026-09-23; not a regulator record.

The cyber insurance page does not name an issuing insurer; HUB places cyber coverage with carriers that vary by client and placement. ¹¹Not found in reviewed sources. Checked the cyber insurance product page on 2026-09-23; no carrier is disclosed there.

Beazley says Full Spectrum Cyber is available to accounts with under $35 million in annual revenue, with coverage limits up to $5 million, purchased by a broker through Beazley's myBeazley platform. ⁵Company-reported. Full Spectrum Cyber product page eligibility paragraph; eligibility for a particular business still depends on underwriting.

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. ¹¹Company-reported. Product-page framing; not a published underwriting appetite.

The sample MediaTech cyber insuring agreements cover Breach Response Costs after an actual or suspected data breach, Cyber Extortion Loss from an extortion threat, business interruption loss from a security breach or system failure, and eCrime losses from fraudulent instruction, funds transfer fraud or telephone fraud. ⁶Company-reported. Sample policy form F00731, 022019 edition; the issued policy's wording and any endorsements control, and a stand-alone Full Spectrum Cyber policy may use different wording.

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. ¹¹Company-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. ¹¹Company-reported. Product-page statistics are company-cited industry figures, not independently verified by Spot and not HUB-specific claims data.

In the sample MediaTech form, unless the declarations list a separate amount, the cyber-related insuring agreements share the same Policy Aggregate Limit of Liability with the policy's technology, professional and media coverages rather than carrying a dedicated cyber-only limit. ⁶Company-reported. Sample policy form F00731, 022019 edition, Limit of Liability and Coverage section; actual sublimits depend on what is purchased and shown on the declarations, and may differ for a stand-alone Full Spectrum Cyber policy.

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. ¹¹Not publicly disclosed. Checked the cyber insurance product page on 2026-09-23; limits are set on the quote and declarations.

Full Spectrum Cyber policyholders get discounted access to vendor services, including anti-phishing tools and training, email security services, cyber risk analysis and other pre-breach prevention services, through Beazley's partnership with its in-house Beazley Security unit. ⁵Company-reported. Full Spectrum Cyber product page Vendor Services section; discount terms and vendor identities are not disclosed on the page.

Beazley says brokers can get a quote and bind Full Spectrum Cyber through its myBeazley platform for qualifying small accounts. The MediaTech application separately asks about ransomware controls such as multi-factor authentication, VPN use, patch timing and backup frequency, which affect underwriting. ^5,7Company-reported. Full Spectrum Cyber product page myBeazley paragraph and MediaTech application Ransomware Controls section; a completed application does not establish acceptance, and myBeazley is a broker tool, not a direct-to-business portal.

HUB directs you to a broker or its cyber specialists for a policy assessment; no online quote is described. ¹¹Company-reported. Product-page call to action as read 2026-09-23.

Beazley describes its Beazley Breach Response service as mobilizing a coordinated response after a cyber incident, including forensics specialists, legal counsel, notification services and call centers, credit monitoring and public-relations support. ⁵Company-reported. Full Spectrum Cyber product page Beazley Breach Response Services section; service quality and turnaround are Beazley's own description and not independently verified.
