Cyber insurance policies are newer, less tested and arguably trickier to understand than property damage/business interruption policies so brokers and insurers must be able to clearly explain to customers the coverage and any limitations to the coverage to prevent similar policy disputes. The best way of doing this is to scenario test the policy wording with potential cyber scenarios so we can understand how the policies may respond.
