Key Differences in Cyber Insurance

Resilience Publishes a Maximum Limit and eCrime Sublimit

Resilience advertises cyber limits up to $20 million on a primary or excess basis and a separate eCrime sublimit up to $500,000. Nationwide’s overview does not publish a universal limit or retention. These are Resilience’s stated maximums, not guaranteed terms; request actual available limits from both channels and compare the treatment of eCrime losses within each program. 4 7

Resilience Pairs Coverage With Active Security Services

Resilience says policyholders receive threat monitoring from its Risk Operations Center and breach-and-attack simulations powered by AttackIQ. Nationwide’s reviewed product overview describes cyber coverage and agent contact without mentioning ongoing monitoring or simulations. If you want prevention work alongside insurance, ask Nationwide what services accompany a policy and confirm the scope and conditions of Resilience’s tools. 4 7

Resilience Describes a 24/7 In-House Incident Team

Resilience says its claims and incident-response team is in-house and available around the clock, with a dedicated claims manager and outside legal, forensic and crisis-communications specialists. Nationwide’s overview does not describe a claims workflow or response team. Ask Nationwide’s agent who coordinates incident response and whether those specialists’ costs are covered; ask Resilience how the team engages after notification. 4 9

What to Confirm in Cyber Insurance Quotes

  • Ask Resilience which Homeland entity would issue your policy and whether $20 million capacity is available for your risk; request Nationwide’s issuer and proposed limits. 8 4
  • Compare monitoring, simulation access, incident-response costs, eCrime limits and the primary or excess structure. 7 4
