What Are the Key Differences Between RiskCube and Travelers Tech E&O Insurance?

Broker Scan With AI Excess vs One Insurer's Menu

RiskCube is an independent brokerage that compares Tech E&O across insurers it does not name, for AI/ML, fintech, govtech, defense, space and Web3 companies, and can add excess cover for algorithmic-bias or hallucination claims. Travelers underwrites technology E&O as one selectable agreement inside CyberRisk Tech, which you can take alone or with its breach-response and cybercrime agreements, for tech and life-sciences companies from startup to established. Choose RiskCube if you sell AI or work in one of its specialist sectors; choose Travelers if you want E&O and optional cyber from one known insurer through your agent. [7] [6] [10] [9]

What Each Covers

RiskCube describes cover for software errors, SLA failures and client financial loss, and lists patent and other IP infringement among common exclusions. Travelers' E&O agreement responds to errors, omissions or negligent acts in your services, such as a customer's lost revenue from a software error, and says nothing about IP. [7] [10]

Quote Speed

RiskCube asks for product, customer, revenue and contract details, including SLAs, and usually quotes in about 24 hours. Travelers sends you to an agent or representative and publishes no E&O limit or quote timeline. [7] [9]

What Should You Confirm in RiskCube and Travelers Tech E&O Insurance Quotes?

  • Ask Travelers whether your quote is E&O alone or with cyber agreements; ask RiskCube which insurer is quoting. [9] [6]
  • If customer contracts require a waiver of subrogation, ask both to show it on the form. [7] [10]
  • Ask Travelers how its E&O treats IP claims. [7] [10]
  • Do not assume Travelers' Cyber Risk Services come with E&O alone. [9]

RiskCube shops several insurers for AI, fintech, govtech, defense, space and Web3 companies, can add excess cover for AI bias or hallucination claims and quotes in about 24 hours; Travelers writes E&O itself inside CyberRisk Tech, which tech and life-sciences companies can take with or without cyber through an agent.
