CYBER LIABILITY
The continued rise in the amount of information stored and transferred electronically has resulted in a large increase in the potential exposures facing businesses. When cyber attacks like data breaches and hacks occur, they can result in devastating damage. Businesses have to deal with business disruption, lost revenue, and litigation. It is important to remember that no business or organization is immune to the impact of cyber crime. Cyber exposures aren’t going away and continue to escalate. Businesses need to be prepared in the event that a cyber attack strikes. Contact us for more information today.
SERVICE LINE COVERAGE IS TYPICALLY NOT COVERED IN A STANDARD HOMEOWNERS POLICY
This covers underground service lines that run from your home to the property line and are your responsibility to maintain. It’s easy for an incident or general wear and tear to eventually result in some unforeseen expenses.
DRONES
Drones (UAS unmanned aerial systems) are a type of aircraft that has broad commercial and personal uses. They can be used to inspect buildings, deliver materials, or fly around as simple, recreational products by every day people. They also can present a significant threat to your business. They have crashed into the U.S. Open, the White House, and other prominent locations. They also pose as cyber security and privacy risks. Many are equipped with advanced cameras and listening devices. Drones equipped with smartphones can access date from a business’s insecure networks and devices. They also can access areas that a normal person could not, such as the top floor of a building or outside the window of a secured room.
PET INSURANCE IS NOW AVAILABLE
Most people consider their animals to be members of their family. Pet insurance provides coverage for pet illnesses and accidents. Different plans generally cover different illnesses and conditions but most often focus on non-routine care and will cover a new illness, disease, or injury.
