Chubb Introduces Service to Aid in Data Breach Recovery

The Chubb Group of Insurance Companies introduced a new service to help businesses manage a data breach. In the event of a data breach the service, available through eRisk Hub, a site managed by NetDiligence, can refer business managers to a specialist law firm that can conduct a free 30-minute consultation to assess the situation and identify next steps to help minimize potential liabilities. The service also provides businesses with an Incident Roadmap and a checklist of response activities and access to other cyber security risk management and breach recovery services.

"The number of data breaches, as well as the costs of complying with customer notification requirements in 46 states and restoring compromised systems, continues to increase steadily," says Tracey Vispoli, SVP and Chubb's worldwide cyber security liability manager. "Even companies with strong security and privacy controls are not immune from cyber extortion or the actual theft or damage of data by external or even internal parties. Chubb's new service offers our CyberSecurity and other customers and producers the resources to help mitigate the risk of a data breach and to respond quickly when one occurs."
