Webinar: Cyber Risk and Insurance
Overview
Cyber risk is a growing issue for all businesses, so brokers and insurers need to understand the risks and insurance cover available.

- Coverage found in a typical cyber policy – data breach, BI, cyber liability, cyber-crime, issues of retro dates, social engineering limitations, industrial control systems, definition of BI indemnity periods and limit calculation.
- Market developments - hardening of rates, additional security and protection requirement, ransom payment issues., concern about group actions, implications of Lloyd v Google Supreme Court action.
- Market innovation - parametric, stand-alone breach support, wrap policies, industry specific policies.
Learning Objectives
