OTTAWA, ON – May 4, 2015 – ENCON Group Inc., a leading managing general agent in Canada, announced today the introduction of expanded cyber liability coverage under its Errors and Omissions (E&O) Information Technology program. In addition, a new cyber hotline service, the “cyber breach coach,” has been established to assist clients in the event of a breach and first party loss under the policy.
“The threat of a security breach, data loss and loss of reputation are very real concerns for companies and organizations in Canada,” said Kevin Auger, Vice President, Special Risk – Technology, ENCON. “While many insurers offer insurance solutions to address these risk exposures, what’s equally important is how to protect a business and its clients after a breach has occurred. That’s where the cyber breach coach can be an excellent resource.”
Effective May 4, 2015, ENCON’s E&O Information Technology and Multimedia Insurance policies will include first party cyber loss coverage relating to:
“The impact on a business when a cyber breach occurs can be devastating, from lost data and lost sales to allegations of wrongdoing and reputational damage,” explained Auger. “We’ve developed our technology program as an ‘all-in-one’ solution, to help protect companies against claims resulting from a broad range of first and third party cyber risks.”
The Cyber Breach Coach
The cyber breach coach—included with all ENCON Information Technology and Multimedia insurance policies—will be a legal firm, designated by ENCON, to provide consultative services to insureds and to ensure continued privilege of confidential information in the case of a cyber breach.
