Years ago, before the internet, smart phones, and worldwide connectivity, small businesses didn’t need to worry about cybercrime.
Today, cyber criminals are everywhere. They’re sophisticated and organized, with resources beyond our imaginations. And they’re not just targeting large corporations. They’re searching for vulnerabilities. They’re testing cyber security measures, trying to access personal information or business funds, and looking for computers left unattended.
With limited budgets or outsourced IT functions, small businesses are often more vulnerable than their larger counterparts.
Most don’t have a disaster recovery plan or the funds to deal with the consequences of a cyberattack. Which means a cybercrime can damage or even cripple a small business.
That’s why Erie Insurance designed our Cyber Suite policy—to protect the businesses that drive our economy: our small business clients have a better chance of anticipating and preventing cyber risks – and can feel confident that if something happens, their claim will be expertly managed, so they can get back to business quickly.
Our clients are covered for ransomware, computer attacks and fraud, misdirected payments, and identity theft.
Coverages form a safety net that provides essential, affordable protection for small businesses who rely on computers, connections, and data to do their jobs.
And while small businesses tend to focus on fixing their systems following a cyber event, we can also help with incident response planning, cyber security and privacy risk mitigation and employee training.
We are there with the protection they need. Because it’s not a matter of if, but when a small business will experience a cybercrime. With Erie Insurance, they’ll be ready.
Become Cyber Secure with 9 Coverages in ERIE's Cyber Suite
No matter the size of your business, keeping your employees’ and customers’ personal information safe from cyber attacks - which happen every 20 seconds2 - is a top priority. With Cyber Suite from ERIE, you’ll be prepared to respond to a wide range of cyber incidents including breaches of personally identifying or sensitive information and threats that could jeopardize the safety of that information.
That’s why ERIE partnered with Hartford Steam Boiler3 to offer additional coverages that are not typically included in business policies including these first- and third-party coverages.
First-party coverages:
- Data Breach Response Expenses —to pay for forensic IT review, breach notifications, legal review, PR services, reward payments, and services to affected individuals including a toll-free help line, credit report and monitoring, and identity restoration case management. Plus, coverage for both regulatory and PCI fines and penalties (when legally insurable under law) and PCI assessments.
- Computer Attack —to pay for data restoration, recreation and system restoration costs due to a computer attack which damages data and/or software. It also includes business interruption, PR services, reward payments and future loss avoidance coverage for improvements to a computer system after a computer attack.
- Cyber Extortion—to pay for the cost of responding to a cyber extortion threat, including the cost of a negotiator or investigator and any amount paid in response to a credible cyber extortion threat.
- Misdirected Payment Fraud—to pay for the direct financial loss including diverted money, payment or tangible property completed through use of email, fax or telephone.
- Computer Fraud—to pay for the direct financial loss resulting from a cybercriminal who uses an unauthorized system to transfer money, securities or other property from your offices or bank to another person or place.
- Telecommunications Fraud—to cover payments owed to a telephone service provider, resulting from a fraudulent charge caused by an unauthorized access to your telecommunications system.
Third-party coverages:
- Privacy Incident Liability —Coverage for costs (within limits) to defend against lawsuits by affected individuals or judgements brought by state or regulatory agencies resulting from a covered “privacy incident”.
- Network Security Liability4 —Coverage for your settlement and defense costs for suits alleging your computer security negligence.

To round out your cyber protection, ERIE also offers two Identity Recovery coverage options for an additional premium:

With Cyber Suite from ERIE, you’ll be in control and able to protect your business from attacks, mitigate your risks and recover if a covered event does occur. Coverage also includes a team of cyber professionals experienced in handling these types of claims.
