Winning the Battle over the War Exclusion

The war exclusion in cyber insurance policies has come under attack as being impractical to administer and potentially unfair to policyholders. Without a war exclusion, however, insurers and reinsurers are exposed to ruinous aggregations of losses. Panelists will explain the potential consequences of weakening or eliminating the war exclusion, discuss marketplace solutions being employed, and examine alternatives such as public/private partnerships to insure cyber warfare risks.
