Great American Insurance Group, a preferred provider of specialty property and casualty insurance, announced that comprehensive data breach and identity theft services from CyberScout, America’s leading identity theft resolution and education services provider, are available through its recently launched cyber risk coverage.
“Practically every organization that has a website and maintains a database of client information has exposures to business loss, not to mention the regulatory issues that require consideration,” said Jeremy Ong, Divisional Vice President of Alternative Markets at Great American. “By offering an affordable and value-added cyber risk solution with the help of experts at CyberScout, Great American is helping customers manage their risk to a business loss that most can ill-afford to absorb.”
Great American’s agreement with CyberScout allows for eligible policyholders to receive:
- CyberScout’s “Total911” solution which supports commercial policyholders with proactive measures to help reduce the risks of a breach and expert post-breach services to assess, communicate and resolve it.
- Dedicated online access to CyberScout’s educational material, including daily threat alerts, investigative articles, monthly newsletters, white papers and preventative tips.
“Our national survey of over 1,500 business leaders revealed that a high percentage of businesses do not have the tools or procedures in place to detect identity fraud, including an incident response plan, vendor management procedures or data encryption for personally identifiable information,“ said Matthew Cullina, CEO of CyberScout. “Great American recognizes how this data breach awareness gap poses increased threats to businesses today and is taking an industry-leading position to provide commercial policyholders with protection that is essential to safeguarding companies, employees and customers.”
