UNC-CH established a cross institutional team from ITS, Campus Safety and Risk Management, University Counsel, and Finance and Administration in 2016 to review the options for cyber liability insurance.

The Data Breach/Cyber Liability policy would cover losses associated with cyber issues: hacking; loss of personal information of UNC students and employees or anyone else with information connected to our computers; loss of UNC network due to failure or loss of use; crisis management coverage which would include notification of affected individuals; credit monitoring and call center; retention of forensic experts to determine the cause of the breach along with assistance to determine the financial cost associated with business income loss and data loss; services to provide assistance with data and system restoration; public relations management and response, and legal assistance and vulnerability testing of our security systems.

The challenge of completing the application was the decentralized design of our University. The team’s diversity supported its review of insurance products and the completion of an application on a global basis. Members of the team included Susan Kellogg, Micki Jernigan, Kevin Lanning, Derek Kemp, Mary Beth Koza, Will Tricomi, Joe Deem, Lee Bollinger, DeAhn Baucom, Jon Manlove, Brook O’Neal and Robin Bennington.
