In an age where cyberattacks are becoming more frequent — and more damaging — PAK Programs is taking a proactive step to protect the alcoholic beverage industry. The specialty insurer, long known for serving breweries, wineries, and beverage distributors, has unveiled a suite of enhanced cyber coverages aimed at helping businesses respond to and recover from a growing array of cyber threats.

Addressing an Escalating Risk

Cybercrime is no longer confined to tech companies or financial institutions. Food and agriculture businesses, including alcoholic beverage manufacturers, are increasingly being targeted by cybercriminals. From ransomware to data breaches, these attacks can result in major disruptions, financial loss, and reputational damage.

PAK Programs’ expanded cyber offerings are designed to meet this moment. Their updated coverage now includes:

  • Data Compromise Response Expenses
  • Cyber Extortion Protection
  • Privacy Incident Liability
  • Network Security Liability
  • Reward Payments for information leading to the identification of cybercriminals

These new additions provide policyholders with critical tools and financial support to minimize damage, recover faster, and stay resilient in the face of digital threats.

Why Cyber Protection Matters for Beverage Producers

“Evolving technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) are becoming more sophisticated and accessible to bad actors, increasing the risk of cybercrime for businesses,” said Larry Chasin, CEO of PAK Programs. “For alcoholic beverage manufacturers and distributors, a cyber incident can lead to a breach of personal information, extensive business interruption, substantial financial losses, and more.”

The goal of the enhanced cyber suite is to give business owners peace of mind, knowing they have access to not only robust coverage but also the industry-specific expertise PAK Programs is known for.

A Legacy of Industry-Focused Coverage

For nearly three decades, PAK Programs has delivered insurance solutions tailored to the unique needs of the alcoholic beverage industry. The enhanced cyber coverage joins a broad portfolio that includes:

  • Business property and equipment insurance
  • Liquor liability
  • Farm liability
