Claims Scenarios: How AdmiralPro™ TEC Protects Your Clients
Even the most diligent technology and cybersecurity professionals can face unexpected claims. A small oversight, system failure, or cyber incident can lead to costly legal battles and financial losses. Below are real-world scenarios demonstrating how our Technology E&O and Cyber Liability coverage safeguards businesses against risk.
Account: Managed IT Provider
Claim
A threat actor used stolen credentials to gain unauthorized access to an internal company server that hosted the software development platform. Before being detected, the bad actor encrypted the Insured’s servers rendering them useless and leaving a ransomware note to unlock.
Loss
Multiple insuring agreements implicated due to the breadth of impact on the Insured’s operations:
- Expenses for breach counsel and a forensics firm to assess what occurred and whether any viable backups are available
- Budget for threat actor negotiations and ransom payment
- Costs to attempt to restore certain services and systems back online, including email, but other data remained encrypted
- In this situation, lost data was successfully restored, and the Insured was able to continue operations without causing delay in the delivery of professional services to their clients
Account: Recognition Platform Provider
Claim
The Insured is in the business of operating a recognition platform for others by tracking sales and distributing incentives via checks to qualified participants.
Loss
A source code issue resulted in duplicate payments to a large number of qualified participants causing significant financial losses to the clients of the Insured.
Account: Point of Sale Technology Provider
Claim
A threat actor was able to gain access into the Insured’s system via email spoofing and redirected vendor payment instructions to an alternative institution, resulting in cyber crime losses in excess of $100,000 after partial payments were recovered by the Financial Institution.
Loss
Cyber Crime losses in excess of $100,000 resulting from Cyber Crime as well as forensic and legal expenses to ensure no additional data was compromised.
Account: Payment Processor
Claim
Cyber security incident involving an unauthorized access of one of the Insured’s servers.
Loss
Legal and PCI Forensic Investigation expenses to determine the scope and impact of the data breach.
Breach counsel expenses in the determination of notification requirements to relevant states and to address any regulatory inquiries.
