Cyber Protection vs. Online Risks: A Comparison

In the digital age, cyber protection in legal expenses insurance and the online risks module in private liability insurance are becoming increasingly important. Both offer protection against cybercrime, but with different focuses.

Cyber protection in legal expenses insurance:

• Legal advice and representation: support in cases of cyberbullying, identity theft, data protection violations and accusations relating to comments on social media
• Cost coverage: covers lawyers' and court fees as well as expert fees.
• Preventive advice: training to improve IT security

Advantages: comprehensive legal protection and professional assistance.
Disadvantages: higher costs and a focus on legal aspects.

Online risks in private liability insurance:

• Third-party liability: protection in cases of personality rights violations and copyright infringements.
• Cyberbullying: coverage of defence costs and claims for damages.
• Data recovery: coverage of the costs of restoring data after cyberattacks.
• Financial losses: protection against losses caused by phishing or online fraud.

Advantages: broad protection and cost savings.
Disadvantages: less comprehensive legal assistance.

Both types of insurance offer valuable protection against digital risks. For comprehensive cover, a combination of both options is recommended.
