Social engineering and cyber fraud cover now available under Management Liability

Written by DUAL | May 29, 2025 12:30:22 AM

 

With limits of up to $250k, this optional extension is designed to cover against direct financial losses resulting from social engineering scams, cyber fraud, and phishing. For clients looking for higher limits, the coverage can also be paired with the social engineering and cyber fraud optional extension available within DUAL’s Cyber Insurance product - for a combined total limit of up to $500k.

Additionally, purchasing standalone Cyber Insurance grants clients automatic access to specialist cyber incident response support, helping to manage and mitigate the effects of social engineering fraud events.

Management Liability | up to $250k

Covers loss of money, securities or tangible property owned by the insured or in their care, custody and control (CCC) caused by social engineering, cyber fraud and phishing.

Cyber Insurance | up to $250k

Covers first party costs including incident response, business interruption, push payment fraud as well as loss of money or securities owned by the insured, or in their care, CCC caused by social engineering, cyber fraud and phishing.

Please note: The optional extensions are available subject to additional premium and meeting underwriting criteria, and are not automatically applied to renewals or new business. The optional extension under the management liability policy doesn't cover incident response, business interruption or push payment fraud.
