Markel says its product is professional liability for technology services, while Liberty Mutual describes a blended cyber and Tech E&O product for technology-company exposures. Neither short description supplies policy wording, limits, or exclusions. Compare the actual forms for claims tied to software failure, consulting advice, and cyber incidents before deciding how the coverage fits your contracts. [5] [4]
