HSB assistant vice president James Hajjar said: “Social influencers want attention, but not from cybercriminals. Hackers and other digital predators target social media. We’re filling the coverage gaps with insurance that follows customers with the protection they need.”

Additionally, the cover enables access to Clario, a cybersecurity app and monitoring services from security firm, Kroll.

HSB is offering HSB Home Cyber Protection through its partner insurance carriers.
