Cyber Market Metrics

Cyber risk is one of the most dynamic and fast-growing segments of the insurance market, but it is one that poses a wide array of challenges to both risk managers and underwriters. New capacity is being attracted to the market even as losses mount and underwriting variables grow in both number and complexity. This session will examine the forces shaping the cyber risk market and how they influence capacity, pricing, profitability, growth rates, product innovation, and competition. Data will be drawn substantially from Advisen’s proprietary cyber loss and insurance program databases, with insight and commentary provided by a leading cyber risk market expert.

“The Survey Says”

Zurich’s Jeremy Smith will present the results of research – sponsored by Zurich and produced by Advisen – based on a survey of European Risk Managers and Insurance Buyers and illustrates the extent by which executives and board members view the relative seriousness of various cyber risk threats. How are businesses addressing their cyber risk management needs? How do businesses choosing between retaining the residual risk of a cyber-security breach or transferring it through the purchase of insurance?

“Who goes there?!”

Who are the actors behind some of the highest profile cyber incidents – external or insiders…Cyber terrorists, activists, criminals, heating contractors?…does it really matter? This session will delve more into the “insider threat” and the human capital needs to combat these threats. Panelists will discuss overall threats; the greatest threat and discuss the implications for risk management and the insurance market with a particular emphasis on recruiting human capital to combat threats.

Afternoon Break

3:30 pm - 4:15 pm

Reputational Risk – Real or Fallacy?

A new threat to corporate reputation is emerging: a cyber attack by an insider or a third party. Data breach notification laws – led by the US – require even small companies to disclose breaches. Even without regulatory disclosure, the likelihood of the corporate and consumer public learning about a breach is high. How a corporation deals with such an event can have significant repercussions on a firm’s reputation – or can it? In this session, panelists will consider current perceptions of the reputational risk presented by a cyber event and will test these concerns on a set of recent data breach examples. Experts will also consider the insurance and risk mitigation services available for reputational risk.

  • Rebecca Bole, Director of Editorial Strategy & Products, Advisen (Moderator)
  • Jennifer Coughlin, Partner, Lewis Brisbois
  • Melanie Dougherty Thomas, CEO & Managing Director, Inform
  • Matthew Hogg, Underwriting Manager, Strategic Assets division, Liberty Specialty Markets

Internet of Everything and More

When machines are programmed to perform tasks independently, they become exposed to a hacking threat. This panel will look at the exposures posed by ‘smart machines’ and will address the wider implications for systems and networks and even critical infrastructure. What role can insurance play?

  • Ken Munro, Partner, Pen Test Partners LLP
4:45 pm - 5:30 pm

Live Cyber Incident Simulation Exercise: London 9th/10th February

The military does it, MI5 does it – increasingly corporations are doing it… Cyber war games are becoming a crucial part of testing your company’s responsiveness and resilience in the face of a ‘live’ cyber event.

On 9th February 2015, Advisen will host a cyber-incident simulation exercise that will see selected teams of experts – representing the various stakeholders in a real event – work through a mock cyber incident in real time.
