Case Studies

B2B Cloud-based technology software provider

In collaboration with Chubb’s incident response managers and trusted cyber vendors, the online retailer was able to minimize the impact of attack. The Chubb risk engineering team also helped the client build a business continuity plan so that critical IT functions would continue if there was another incident in the future.

Technology consultant firm

A client positioning itself as a total solution provider by offering bundled services to large corporations needed to protect their balance sheet with E&O insurance. This would enable them to respond to third-party claims alleging financial or economic injury. We were able to add this coverage as a supplement to their general liability insurance policy, and further to integrate with cyber insurance to reduce any gaps in their program.

At Chubb, we tailor your insurance solutions based on the specific needs and exposures of your company, informed by our broad and deep expertise in the technology insurance practice area.

 

That expertise and our extensive portfolio of technology clients — as well as our access to up-to-date industry data — allow us to benchmark the types of risks and losses technology companies face, as well as the coverage limits that are most prudent for your type and size of business. 

Technology companies are somewhat unique in the combination of risks to which they’re susceptible. Like many other companies, tech companies have tangible physical assets — like manufacturing facilities or consultancy office spaces. In tech, there are also amplified risks related to digital exposures that sometimes seem less tangible but are no less treacherous.

 

For example, if you manufacture or sell — or if your consultancy service recommends — software for a hospital system and that software has a vulnerability that exposes patient data, you can be liable for financial loss, privacy breaches, and more. Chubb understands and expertly underwrites these complex, multifaceted technology coverages.
