Latest efforts and reminders:

Cyber protection

Did you know that cybersecurity attacks are on the rise, with hackers specifically targeting remote workers? Now is a good time to take a look at our new cyber product for your customers. It includes five new coverages in addition to first- and third-party coverage, protecting insureds against forms of cybercrime, security breaches, online banking theft and more. View our new marketing materials below:

We’ve also published new blog posts discussing the basics of cybersecurity coverage for businesses, as well as four cybersecurity attacks to think about in 2020—timely topics as we all take extra steps to protect ourselves from cybersecurity threats.

Last chance: Profit-sharing advance

If you’re planning to take advantage of our profit-sharing payment advance, don’t forget that the deadline is Friday, May 15. This is an opt-in, one-time payment advance on your 2020 profit sharing. The amount of the advance, if you choose to participate, will be 20% of your 2019 profit sharing amount. This accelerated payment will be made by the end of May 2020.
