Speak the Language

Cyber insurance, decoded

The terms that quietly decide what your policy pays, explained in a sentence each.

First-Party Coverage

Pays for your own costs after an attack: breach response, lost income, data restoration.

Third-Party Coverage

Defends you when others claim your breach harmed them.

Sublimit

A smaller cap inside your policy for specific things, like extortion or PR costs.

Waiting Period

The 8 to 12 hour gap before business-interruption coverage starts paying.

Questions

The basics, answered

What does cyber insurance actually cover?
Most policies cover both first-party costs (your own breach response, data restoration, lost income) and third-party costs (lawsuits, regulatory fines, and claims from affected customers). Exact coverage varies by insurer, so the policy's response triggers matter as much as the headline limit.
How much does a policy cost for a small business?
Premiums scale with your revenue, the sensitive data you hold, and your security controls. In 2026 the median annual premium for a business under 250 employees is about $1,740, and standalone coverage with a $1M limit often starts near $1,500.
Will my general liability policy already cover a breach?
Almost never. Standard general liability and business-owner policies usually exclude cyber events. Cyber insurance is separate, dedicated coverage.
