BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Both policies include coverage for third-party exposures resulting from data security and privacy breaches, breach expense and extortion threat coverage, media liability coverage, and coverage to pay lost income and related expenses resulting from the policyholder’s business’ partial or full interruption due to a network security failure, according to the statement.

Additionally, policyholders will have access to eRiskHub, an online hub which provides resources to help policyholders understand cyber exposures and help them establish a response plan to breaches, according to the statement.

“Our experienced professional liability team is providing solutions to simplify for customers the complex work of managing professional liability and cyber exposures,” Danielle Librizzi, senior vice president, head of professional liability, said in the statement.
