Affordable Care Act
In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act (ACA), commonly referred to as “Obamacare” or PPACA, was signed into law, marking a historic transformation in the U.S. healthcare system. The primary objective of the ACA was to enhance the quality and affordability of health insurance while decreasing the number of uninsured individuals in the country. According to recent data, the ACA has successfully provided coverage to an unprecedented 35 million Americans.

Safeguarding yourself and your clients with cyber liability insurance
In our continually advancing digital era, businesses of all sizes in Greenwood and Abbeville Counties face equal vulnerability to data breaches, whether originating from internal or external sources. What’s less known among business owners is that standard general liability policies do not provide coverage for losses stemming from technology and internet-related risks.
At Insurance Corner, we strongly recommend that all businesses give serious thought to obtaining cyber liability protection. Neglecting to address this risk can prove to be financially burdensome for business owners, irrespective of their business’s scale. Cyber liability insurance is a proactive measure to safeguard your business against the potential financial fallout of cyberattacks, data breaches, and technology-related exposures in today’s digital landscape.
Why would my business need cyber liability insurance?
No matter the industry, businesses are susceptible to data breaches. Companies that store critical data such as phone numbers, credit card details, or Social Security numbers—whether digitally or on computer systems—are especially vulnerable to cyberattacks. In such cases, cybersecurity insurance proves invaluable.
Cyber Liability insurance serves as a shield for businesses, safeguarding them against financial losses resulting from cyber incidents. This coverage includes:
Data Breaches and Theft: Protection against the theft or unauthorized access of sensitive data, along with expenses related to notifying affected parties, credit monitoring, and managing the aftermath of a breach.
System Hacking: Coverage for losses incurred due to cyberattacks and unauthorized access to computer systems or networks.
Ransomware Extortion Payments and Denial of Service: Reimbursement for extortion payments associated with ransomware attacks and coverage for losses stemming from denial-of-service incidents.
Cyber liability insurance typically encompasses two broad categories of protection:
First-Party Coverage: Addresses the direct costs incurred by the insured business as a result of a cyber incident. This may include expenses related to breach notification, data recovery, and business interruption.
Third-Party Coverage: Protects against claims and lawsuits brought by third parties, such as clients or customers, due to a cyber incident. It covers legal fees, settlements, and other related costs.
In this digital age, where data breaches and cyber threats are increasingly common, cyber liability insurance is an essential tool for businesses to mitigate financial risks and protect their reputation.
How to reduce cyber liability insurance premiums
We understand that business owners, especially those running small businesses, may have concerns about adding new insurance expenses to their existing operational costs. However, it’s crucial to keep in mind that a single cyber breach can have catastrophic financial consequences, potentially leading your company into bankruptcy.
While cyber liability coverage is generally affordable, there are also practical steps you can take to decrease your risk:
Data Encryption: Encrypting sensitive information on your laptops and other devices adds an extra layer of protection, making it more difficult for unauthorized access.
Internet Usage and Social Media Policies: Developing and implementing clear internet usage and social media policies allows you to define what’s important to your business and establish necessary steps for you and your employees to safeguard company information.
Firewall Protection: Setting up a robust firewall to protect your network is essential. Ensure it provides equal protection for both internal and external networks, as well as all devices like computers, laptops, and mobile devices.
Strong Passwords: Weak passwords are vulnerable to hackers. Creating strong passwords, which are longer and include a combination of upper and lowercase letters, numerals, and symbols, along with regularly changing them, significantly reduces the risk of being hacked.
Taking these proactive measures not only enhances your cybersecurity but also demonstrates your commitment to safeguarding your business. Combined with cyber liability coverage, they create a robust defense against the potentially devastating consequences of a cyber breach.
