Media, Technology, & Cybersecurity Liability

Liability issues related to privacy breaches, security incidents, and technology outages have become exponentially more complex in recent years and present unique challenges as insurers adapt their coverage to an ever-changing landscape.

Insurers are increasingly being asked to underwrite technology related risks that create exposure under laws protecting privacy and confidentiality, including a complex web of federal and state consumer protection and privacy laws that prohibit the collection and disclosure of personal and biometric data. Insurers are also increasingly being asked to cover risks relating to hacking activity and other cybersecurity related breaches, including damages stemming from cyber ransom attacks and internet infrastructure interruptions and outages. Our cyber-team lawyers have extensive experience with the full spectrum of these issues.
