  • services: AIG says its professional-liability claims team includes in-house professionals and third-party experts, collaborates with clients during claims, and uses claims data to help evaluate and mitigate loss.

  • services: Travelers says CyberRisk Tech policyholders with cyber coverage get access to Cyber Risk Services, including a 24/7 Cyber Risk Dashboard and threat monitoring, but the cyber-for-technology page states availability of these services depends on policy eligibility and lists them under cyber coverage rather than as a benefit tied specifically to the technology E&O agreement. Cyber Risk Services description; scope is broader cyber coverage, not confirmed as an E&O-specific benefit.company-reportedSource ↗
  • application: Travelers tells technology buyers to consult their insurance agent or a Travelers representative about CyberRisk Tech coverage; the reviewed pages do not describe a self-service quote path for technology E&O. Cyber-for-technology page CTA.company-reportedSource ↗
