Key Differences in Cyber Insurance

Named Insurer Versus Brokered Placement

Resilience discloses that its US 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. 12

Marsh says its Cyber ECHO excess facility can provide over $200 million of cyber capacity per client, with a free first reinstatement and a paid second reinstatement for separate cyber events within a policy year. 6Company-reported. Cyber ECHO facility page; describes excess capacity Marsh can arrange, not a standard primary limit.

Security Services Bundled Differently

Resilience pairs its policy with proactive threat monitoring from its own Risk Operations Center and breach-and-attack simulations powered by AttackIQ, delivered as part of the combined offering. 11 7

What to Confirm in Cyber Insurance Quotes

  • Ask Resilience which of the two named Homeland entities would issue your policy. 12
  • If Resilience's $20 million maximum is not enough, ask Marsh how it would structure excess capacity above that figure. 6
  • Ask Marsh which insurer would ultimately underwrite your primary placement, since Cyber ECHO covers excess layers specifically. 6
  • Confirm whether Resilience's threat-monitoring services or Marsh's claims-advocacy team matter more for your risk profile. 11 7
