CASE STUDIES
See how we help across industries
Financial Services
A financial advisor wired $3.5M to two charities when a threat actor intercepted and diverted the money. Coalition’s claims team engaged in Pre-Claim Services and helped them recover all but $405 of the $3.5M — avoiding a claim under their cyber policy altogether.
Healthcare
A national dental company was impacted by a ransomware event. Coalition’s Claims team connected the policyholder with breach counsel and an incident response team who helped the policyholder avoid paying the ransom. The policyholder received over $430K under the cyber policy representing business interruption and data restoration costs.
Manufacturing
A large manufacturer was facing a $1.2M ransom following a cyber attack. The policyholder didn’t have viable backups and was projecting $1M in losses per day. Coalition’s claims team helped the policyholder engage Coalition Incident Response (CIR) who found a decryption key and helped them resume business within a day.
“I just have to say this is the quickest claims response I have ever seen! When I first inquired, I’d heard back in record-breaking time and have received follow-ups and tips from your team. Excellent service from the entire team.”
“Coalition's Claims team stepped in and held our hand and walked us through the entire claims process. They made something that we now know is extremely difficult, seem easy, and has made it seem like we can manage.”

How much cyber insurance do I need?
As the frequency of cyber incidents and the costs of data breaches continue to grow, there are a number of factors that determine an organization’s unique risk and how much cyber insurance it may require.
What is Funds Transfer Fraud?
Funds Transfer Fraud (FTF) is a common cyber attack in which hackers redirect funds from a victim's account before or during a money transfer so that the fraudsters receive the payment instead of the intended recipient.
What are the steps to building a Cyber Incident Response Plan?
An incident response plan is designed to help a business recover from a cyber incident and is ideally tailored to each individual company. The goal of an incident response plan is to respond to the incident as effectively as possible while minimizing business downtime or operational impact.
Are there multiple types of Phishing Attacks?
A phishing attack is a social engineering attack where a bad actor impersonates a legitimate individual or business to trick their target into taking action. Once they've duped their target into clicking on a link and sharing their login credentials, threat actors gain unauthorized access to the organization's network and critical data.
What is the difference between Endpoint Detection Response (EDR) and Managed Detection and Response (MDR)?
Endpoint detection response (EDR) tools analyze data from endpoints—like end users or their devices—to detect suspicious activities, while Managed detection response (MDR) leverages advanced threat intelligence, behavioral analytics, and machine learning to detect and automatically respond to a wide range of cyberattacks. Extended Detection and Response (XDR) goes beyond EDR and MDR by integrating and correlating data from various security tools and sources, including endpoints, networks, cloud environments, IoT devices, and applications.
