Cyber Insurance Mandate for Energy Service Companies in New York

Abbey Gallegos, Zeguro EVP of Insurance, brings Zeguro's integrated technology and cyber insurance solution to the Energy Marketing Conference in New York, September 12th. Energy Service Companies (or ESCOs) in New York are now required to carry cybersecurity insurance in the amount of $5 million per cybersecurity incident. The data security agreement (DSA) that went into effect December 1, 2018 has many companies scrambling to find a solution.

While many businesses implement cybersecurity best practices and cyber insurance so they can sleep tight knowing their business is secure, others take notice when legislation or a policy change forces their hand. The latter is the case in the state of New York, where Energy Service Companies (or ESCOs) are now required to carry cybersecurity insurance in the amount of $5 million per cybersecurity incident. The data security agreement (DSA) that went into effect December 1, 2018 has many New York energy companies scrambling to find a solution.
