Expanded areas include data breach, threat of intrusion or interference with computer systems, damage to data and systems from cyber attack, and cyber-related litigation. Coverage is available as an endorsement to an existing IMU marine policy, including yacht club, marina and commercial marine package, and certain hull and protection & indemnity policies.

IMU’s cyber coverage includes first-party and third-party liability coverage for threats including data compromise response expenses, computer attack, cyber extortion, data compromise liability, network security liability, and electronic media liability.

Additionally, customers will have access to cyber-specific resources and services through eRiskHub, an online risk management portal designed to help customers prepare and respond to data breach and cyber attacks.
