Data Privacy Law Talk

While most businesses have some form of insurance coverage, that does not mean they have specific cyber insurance coverage. Even if a business has purchased a cyber insurance policy, you may not be as covered as you think.

In this episode, Jim Paulick is joined by Michael H. Sampson, a Partner with Leech Tishman and a member of the firm’s Litigation Practice Group, where he leads the Insurance Coverage Group, to discuss cyber insurance.

Mike & Jim discuss the difference between first and third-party coverage, what cyber insurance usually does - and does not - cover, and why it is so critical to have cyber insurance in this day and age, for any business.
