Mosaic adds excess technology E&O coverage to cyber product offering
Mosaic Insurance’s cyber division has launched excess capacity and coverage for a new product aimed at protecting technology sector companies from rapidly emerging liability risks.
The Hamilton, Bermuda-based specialty insurer now offers excess technology errors and omissions (E&O) as companion cover to cyber for businesses ranging from artificial intelligence, virtual reality, edtech, and IT consulting firms to data analytics companies, software as a service (SaaS), and peer-to-peer platforms.
Underwritten via Mosaic’s Syndicate 1609 with capacity from both Mosaic and partner carriers, the product is available globally through Mosaic’s cyber hubs in London, Bermuda, and the US, with a minimum attachment point of US$10 million.
Launched in February 2021, Mosaic combines Lloyd’s Syndicate 1609 with a wholly owned syndicated capital management agency, enabling the company to source and underwrite business worldwide. Its six current business lines are transactional liability, cyber, political risk, political violence, financial institutions, and professional lines.
CoverTree partners with Socotra for mobile home programs
