Negotiating Tech E&O and Cyber Policy Enhancements for the Middle Market

About this Webinar
April 22, 2025 | 10:00 AM (CDT)
Until recently, the ability to negotiate for non-standard coverage and wording improvements in Tech E&O/Cyber and stand-alone Cyber insurance policies was limited primarily to policies with self-insured retentions or deductibles well in excess of $1 million. As a result, only very large companies with billions of dollars in annual revenue generally qualified. All that changed in the past couple of years. Now, in order to compete for market share and to differentiate themselves from their competition, many insurers are willing to negotiate valuable cyber coverage enhancements for companies with annual revenues as low as $100 million and retentions as low as $100,000. Middle market companies can now negotiate valuable Tech E&O and Cyber Insurance policy wording enhancements like never before -- but you need to know what to request. This webinar will provide you with the knowledge to arrange the broadest possible cyber insurance protection possible.
