Yes, but only if your policy includes the social engineering fraud endorsement. Standard cyber policies often exclude it. We always recommend adding this endorsement because phishing attacks are the #1 way hackers steal money from small businesses. Business cyber insurance without social engineering has a dangerous gap.
Most carriers require basic security: firewalls, antivirus software, regular data backups, and employee cybersecurity training. Many also require multi-factor authentication on email and remote access. Meeting these requirements lowers your premium significantly with most cyber insurance carriers.
