Property/casualty insurer Chubb has launched a new personal cyber insurance policy in the UK that is designed to help policyholders safeguard themselves as well as their families.

The new personal cyber insurance will provide a range of protection and services to help individuals mitigate risks and offer action and practical support if they are victims of certain cyber-related incidents.

"We are delighted to be able to offer this new and innovative Personal Cyber Insurance policy for our partner businesses," said Chris Eappariello, executive vice president, specialty personal lines international, Chubb.

"We all enjoy so many benefits from living in a digitally-driven age, but the internet can also be a haven for criminals and bullies whose actions can often have a devastating impact on their victims. Chubb's Personal Cyber Insurance helps customers and their families be safer and also offers protection and practical solutions if they are targeted."
