Risk Solutions

US Cyber

From ransomware and data theft to blockchain breaches, systemic outages and technology failure, the nature of cyber risk is evolving rapidly - and the insurance market is being reshaped alongside it. Businesses operating in the digital economy face an environment of heightened scrutiny, where reputational damage, regulatory response and speed of recovery are as critical as financial loss.

Price Forbes delivers specialist cyber insurance solutions for complex, evolving and systemic digital risks. We work with US retail brokers to structure and place London and Bermuda market programmes for clients operating across data‑driven, technology‑enabled and highly regulated sectors.

In 2025, our Cyber team placed over USD110m of GWP, supported by a specialist group of 23 cyber professionals with advanced technical capabilities and significant market influence. From primary placements through to large excess towers and alternative programme structures, we support brokers placing cover where cyber risk extends beyond data breach to encompass operational disruption, financial loss, technology dependency and third‑party exposure.

Cyber Solutions

We design and place bespoke cyber programmes aligned to client risk profile, industry exposure and balance sheet tolerance. Solutions are structured across primary, excess and hybrid placements, with flexibility to evolve as threats and regulations change.

Our core capabilities include:

Cyber Liability
Coverage for data protection, network security, regulatory response and cyber related financial loss, including cyber triggered property damage where appropriate.

Technology Professional Liability
Protection for technology service providers against errors, omissions and failure of technology enabled services.

Media Liability
Cover for intellectual property infringement, defamation and digital content related exposures.

Social Engineering & Fraud (Excess)
Standalone and excess solutions addressing invoice manipulation, payment diversion and deceptive transfer events.

FinTech & Digital Business Risks
Cyber and technology solutions tailored to payment platforms, financial technology firms and digital service providers.

Intellectual Property Insurance
Specialist protection for defence, pursuit and business interruption linked to IP infringement and trade secret misappropriation.

We regularly advise on alternative programme structures, including aggregation solutions, reinsurance backed facilities and pooled risk approaches for complex cyber exposures.

Specialist Programme Enhancements

Our cyber programmes can incorporate a range of tailored enhancements, including:

  • Business interruption cover triggered by security failures, operational error or system outage
  • Extended restoration periods and automatic contingent business interruption for key suppliers
  • Coverage for bricking and replacement of technology assets
  • Protection for BYOD environments and operational technology systems
  • Social engineering fraud and reputational harm aligned to business interruption triggers
  • Pre approved breach response, forensic and legal vendors
  • Regulatory and disclosure cost extensions, including securities related obligations

These features are deployed selectively based on client operation, industry and threat profile.
