Cybersecurity insurance typically covers direct and immediate losses due to data breaches and information security breaches. This often includes legal costs, credit monitoring costs, litigation costs (such as breach of privacy), and costs of regulatory investigations. Forensic investigation is a critical component of the response to a cyber incident, and the costs associated with it are generally covered under a cybersecurity insurance policy.
