Who is technology insurance right for?
The technology industry is a far-reaching ecosystem that propels commerce and society into the future through innovation. The industry encompasses a range of businesses, developing products and delivering services across multiple sectors.
Electronics manufacturing
The electronics manufacturing sector – encompassing distributors, manufacturers and semiconductor companies – faces heightened risk due to increasing complexity and geographic concentration of parts and components. These exposures can result in product failures/defects and supply chain disruptions, potentially affecting production operations and delivery timelines.
Information technology
Information technology companies are leading the way to increased digitization and automation worldwide. However, they are confronted with various risks, including products failing to perform as expected due to errors, omissions, negligence or defects. Additionally, the sector is increasingly vulnerable to growing cyber threats, which can compromise operations and reliability.
Telecommunications
Telecommunications is a capital-intensive industry impacted by the increased frequency of weather-related events, such as wildfires, hurricanes and other natural disasters. These risks pose a serious threat to critical network equipment, which can lead to supply chain disruptions, operational breakdowns, costly repairs and prolonged service outages.

Technology insurance FAQ
Yes. Travelers’ technology insurance solutions have been designed with the needs of technology companies in mind. With the rapid evolution of technology comes new risk challenges. Travelers has a long history of developing innovative insurance products for technology businesses. Our deep industry expertise goes back over 40 years. We understand that every technology business, large or small, is unique and faces complex risks. With the fast, evolving nature of the industry, Travelers underwrites for the long term to help technology businesses keep pace with change.
Any technology business can have their products or services called into question. For example, a customer may claim that they lost revenue due to an error in your software product or technology service. Responding to these types of claims takes time, money and expertise. It might even impact the reputation of your business, potentially bringing it to a grinding halt. A CyberRisk Tech E&O insurance policy can help protect your business when faced with a claim for financial loss because of an alleged error in your software product or technology service so you can keep moving forward.
Every business, whether an emerging player or an established leader, faces cyber threats. In the case of a data breach, a company may face potential liability if customer information is exposed. Cyber insurance can help protect companies when faced with a liability claim by a third party and reimburse companies for their first-party expenses related to a data breach.
Traditional business insurance policies often stop short of providing adequate international insurance coverage. Global insurance helps protect technology companies from global exposures ranging from an employee getting injured while traveling for business to defective parts manufactured by a supplier outside the U.S.
