Cyber Insurance
by Scott Morey 29 Dec '20

29 Dec '20

Greetings and Happy Holidays from Traverse Area District Library! We were wondering if any other libraries have or are looking into obtaining cyber insurance policies that would cover liabilities in case of a hack or accidental data breach. If so, we would appreciate it if you would let us know what firm you worked with to obtain this coverage and any other feedback you'd be willing to share on this front. We are in the process of evaluating options and are having difficulties finding a plan that meets our needs / makes sense in a library environment, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Scott W. Morey he/him/his Assistant Director for Technology Traverse Area District Library smorey(a)tadl.org (231) 932-8531
