Mosaic expands cyber risk offering
Mosaic Insurance has expanded its cyber risk offering by providing primary technology errors and omissions (E&O) coverage to protect tech companies from increasing liability risks.
The launch builds on the Bermuda-based specialty insurer's primary cyber offering initiated last spring and activates primary Tech E&O as a blended product globally; previously it was offered on an excess basis only. Coverage mitigates against rising threats facing businesses contracted to provide tech products, including artificial intelligence, virtual reality, edtech, IT consulting, data analytics, software as a service (SaaS), and peer-to-peer platform services.
“We understand how intrinsically linked cyber exposure is with technology-related liability, so we’re thrilled to now offer primary tech E&O in conjunction with our primary cyber product on a global basis,” said Yosha DeLong, Mosaic’s Global Head of Cyber. “This expansion aligns with our strategy to provide needed solutions to our clients and partners.”
Offering up to $15 million in capacity via both its own Syndicate 1609 and a consortia of syndicated capital partners, Mosaic is making primary Tech E&O coverage available via underwriting hubs in London, the US, Canada, Europe, and UAE.
“Technology services and products are becoming ever more complex and, at the same time, integral to business, thereby increasing the risk and costs of software failure,” noted James Tuplin, Mosaic’s Head of International, Cyber, who has 17 years’ experience underwriting in the sector. “We’re increasing our product suite to meet that demand and help clients best protect themselves from these growing digital risks.”
Clients will benefit from Mosaic’s partnership with tech pioneer Safe Security, which integrates granular telematics into its cyber underwriting process. The “inside-out” view using APIs delivers real-time insights into the likelihood and dollar-value risk of cyber breaches across corporate environments.
