Navigating Today’s Cyber Insurance Market
Cyber risk is now a board-level topic in many organizations, with corporate cybersecurity decisions opening directors up to securities class actions and accountability over data breaches. Heightened interest from the boardroom means risk managers must be ready to explain triple-digit cyber insurance price increases, new underwriting questions, and the importance of evolving cybersecurity risk management. This panel will also discuss how cyber insurance professionals can assist in educating directors and officers on their total cost of cyber risk and how to not only buy cyber insurance, but to buy the appropriate coverage to match their risks.
10:50am-11:35am EDT / 15:50-16:35 GMT
The Wide World of Cyber Risk Models
At a time when supply-chain risk is rising and a single cyber event can strike hundreds of organizations around the world, cyber risk models play a key role in helping insurers quantify risk aggregation and exposure to potentially catastrophic losses. The modeling world has also expanded to evaluating cyber as a systemic risk, alongside climate change and pandemics. This session will discuss how modelers see their insight evolving and how having this key insight can help insurers make underwriting and capacity decisions, detect potential balance-sheet problems, and boost resilience for the future.
11:35am-11:43am EDT / 16:35-16:43 GMT
Security & The Supply Chain: Using Threat Intelligence & Incident Response to Stop them
2020 and 2021 have been novel years for public visibility associated with security compromises affecting an aggregated source of victims. While this might not necessarily be a “new” concept, its impacts can be felt across a wide variety of industries and has a substantial global footprint. DFIR Director Matt Gayford and Senior Director Brendan Rooney discuss what claims adjusters and underwriters might expect to see pertaining to security incidents impacting the larger supply chain using core security concepts and leveraging threat intelligence to empower organizations to prevent, detect and respond to security incidents.

Learning from the Losses: Today’s Cyber Claims Landscape
The cyber claims landscape changes rapidly and these days, it’s more active than ever. It’s becoming clear that knowing what not to do during a cyber claim is just as important as knowing what to do. What are the trends and how are they guiding underwriters now? Do they vary by region or industry group? How are insurers responding? What are the implications for insurance buyers? This session will offer a look at the lifecycle of a claim to illustrate the impacts of a cyber event and offer advice on how to bounce back quickly, whether it’s a data breach, DDoS, or ransomware.
10:50am-11:35am EDT / 15:50-16:35 GMT
The Risks and Rewards of Cyber-related Regulations

The pressure is on cyber insurers over ransomware, and there’s increasing urgency over mandatory breach disclosures and sharing actionable threat data. What are the latest developments in regulation and how do they impact insurers? Silent cyber has become a major focus for both the industry and regulators – will coverage changes be necessary? Can we draw any insight from recent GDPR enforcement actions or cyber litigation for the future?
