The real risk? Being sued (3rd party).
That’s where proper cyber coverage matters.

Early 2026 signals relief: Canada's market softened -3%, extending seven quarters of declines due to more competition, capacity and cheaper reinsurance. Farmers should seize this—review policies now and lock in broader coverage before hardening returns from cat losses.
