Cyber Claims Management for Cyber Insurance

Claims Handling Should Be Every Cyber Insurer’s #1 Priority

Cyber insurance has become one of the fastest-growing segments for U.S. P/C insurers and is projected to be a $20 billion industry by 2025.

Cyber risk has taken center stage since the start of the pandemic in 2020, when remote work and the need for interconnection across organizations, resulted in widespread cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Cyber supplement data reported claims rose by 100% annually in the past three years and claims payments grew by 200% annually over the same period.

With both the frequency and severity of claims rising, quick claims resolution is becoming more important than ever for both policyholders and insurers.

Key Challenges for Cyber Insurance Companies

Rapid First Notification of Loss (FNOL)

As soon as a breach is identified, the claims clock starts ticking. For the company that was attacked, this means gathering and communicating all indicative claims information asap. And for insurers, this means providing an FNOL process that is fast, simple and seamless for your customer, broker, and claims organization.

Insurance Claims Response Team

Your internal claims team must be ready to quickly triage the claim and deploy the appropriate response team. As the response team will consist of external partners (such as law firms, financial forensic experts, digital ID experts, PR experts, etc.), your claims management solution needs to be able to facilitate:

  • Easy and comprehensive referrals, directly from the system
  • Sharing of information across the response team
  • Expert-specific permissions access to the claims system as needed

Digital Claims Auditing

A breach or cyber attack that results in a claim provides invaluable information for future underwriting audits, general risk mitigation and more effective resolution of similar claims. Your claims management solution should include an embedded auditing solution that captures claims data and facilitates an efficient audit program.

Omnichannel Communications

Open lines of communications are key both before and after a cyber incident  and real -time communication across multiple channels (text, email, chat, phone, video) can create better results for all. Unfortunately, most claims insurance technology is outdated and does not support omnichannel communications.

Cyberattacks happen every 39 seconds. Can your claims management solution hack it?

Cyberattacks of varying kinds are becoming ubiquitous across businesses large and small. The resolution of a cyberattack related claim (whether it’s first or third-party) is a unique and complex collaborative effort relative to most other lines of businesses.

Although the number of unique cyber insurers has doubled from 50 to 100 providers in the last few years there has been little to no progress made on cyber claims specific systems – until now.
