CFC cyber coverage expands executive protection

CFC announced the changes on October 6, 2026. Its Cyber Proactive Response policy, known as CPR, was launched in 2025 for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The executive protections include cover for personal crime and extortion exposures, temporary relocation costs for executives and their families, and trauma counselling after an attack. CFC’s announcement does not specify the coverage limits or eligibility conditions.

AI wording and business interruption

CFC says the updated policy provides enhanced affirmative AI coverage and is designed to clarify how cyber insurance responds to AI-related exposures. The announcement does not set out the precise AI risks covered or the applicable exclusions.

The longer business interruption indemnity period extends the stated period of protection from 12 to 18 months. In its policy update announcement, CFC said business interruption losses can continue after systems have been restored.
