Key Differences in Cyber Insurance

A Broker's Advisory Model Versus a Named Distributor and Insurer

Lockton brokers cyber coverage and layers its own security-posture reviews and incident-response exercises on top of placement, without naming which insurer would end up on the policy. 4 Resilience combines a similar pairing of policy and security services but discloses more about the placement structure: in the US, its cyber products are distributed by Ocrea Risk Services, LLC, doing business as Resilience Cyber Insurance Solutions, and underwritten by Homeland Insurance Company of New York or Homeland Insurance Company of Delaware.

Resilience's US disclosure states that cyber insurance products are distributed by Ocrea Risk Services, LLC (NPN 19169260), doing business as Resilience Cyber Insurance Solutions, and underwritten by Homeland Insurance Company of New York or Homeland Insurance Company of Delaware, both subsidiaries of Intact Insurance Group USA LLC. The disclosure does not say which of the two Homeland entities issues a given policy. 8Company-reported. US paragraph of Resilience's disclaimer page, accessed 2026-09-23; product- and state-specific issuer mapping is not published.

Published Limits on One Side

Resilience advertises cyber limits up to $20 million on a primary or excess basis, with a separate eCrime sublimit of up to $500,000. 7 Lockton's reviewed pages do not publish a comparable limit figure; they describe the advisory process — quantifying exposure, then negotiating terms with insurers — rather than a specific capacity number. 4

Claims and Security Services

Resilience describes a fully in-house 24/7 claims and incident-response team with a dedicated claims manager from triage through settlement, plus proactive threat monitoring from its Risk Operations Center and breach-and-attack simulations powered by AttackIQ. 9 7 Lockton names a cyber team of over 100 Associates that performs security-posture reviews and incident-response exercises before a policy is placed, but its pages do not describe a dedicated post-loss claims team of its own. 4

What to Confirm in Cyber Insurance Quotes

  • Ask Resilience which of the two named Homeland entities would issue your specific policy. 8
  • Ask Lockton which insurer it intends to place your cyber risk with, since its pages do not name one. 4
  • If you need more than $20 million in cyber capacity, ask Lockton how it would structure excess layers, since Resilience's published maximum is $20 million. 7
  • Confirm how each firm's claims-handling process works for your policy, since Resilience describes an in-house team and Lockton's pages describe pre-placement services instead. 9 4
