Time to Quote Cyber Insurance for Retailers
 From data breaches and denial of service attacks to theft of credit card data, retailers face a number of cyber risk exposures. With about 70% of retailers globally experiencing a cyber attack and 61% experiencing an attack in the past year, the most comprehensive protection is imperative to ensure continuation of business. That's Coalition.
Coalition's cyber insurance is specifically designed to help retailers, both online & offline:
-
Restoration of digital assets, including sensitive customer information and credit card records
-
Coverage for consequential reputational harm loss, and media and PR costs to respond to an incident
-
Enhanced coverage for denial of service (DDoS) attacks that impede legitimate traffic to the retailer
-
PCI fines and penalties resulting from exposure of customer credit card data
-
Costs to respond to a ransomware (extortion) incident
-
Business interruption losses from cyber attacks against the retailer and their suppliers
Coalition's proactive cybersecurity platform saves your client time, money, and headaches. By offering a full suite of security apps including 24/7 security monitoring, automated threat and intelligence alerts, DDoS mitigation, security benchmarking, ransomware protection, employee training, patch reminders, and more-included with each policy at no additional cost, Coalition helps retailers protect their network and their business.
When an incident happens, Coalition is the only insurance firm with a dedicated 24/7 incident response and claims team to help retailers quickly respond to an incident.

Your client is involved in an accident where the other driver is at fault but later claims it was your client's fault. If there are no witnesses, it's a he said/she said situation which could end up costing your client in higher premiums. Now imagine that you dispatched a drone to take aerial footage/pictures of the scene that supports your client's version of the accident. This is just one example of a real-time insurance-related use of drones which could make you your client's hero.
