Cyber Risk and Cyber Insurance
Over the past years, technological advances have greatly increased our dependency on digital technology. As a result, consumers and businesses alike have become vulnerable to any form of distortion of their digital infrastructure. Due to the intangible nature and quickly changing character, risk managers face a formidable challenge to effectively manage this ‘cyber risk’. One of the possible mitigation measures is to buy cyber risk insurance, which may cover a plethora of expenses related to incidents in the digital realm. Insurers, and the risk managers and actuaries working for them, play a dual role in the cyber insurance industry, both offering cyber insurance solutions as well as being exposed to cyber risk in their own organisation. In this seminar, we will explore both roles of the insurer. Various aspects of cyber risk and cyber insurance will be discussed, including current modelling methodologies, risk management approaches and cyber risk treatment.

| The seminar is developed for risk managers and actuaries working for (non-life) insurers, but will be relevant for anyone involved with cyber risk and/or cyber insurance, such as non-life product managers and brokers. We will consider cyber risk both from the internal enterprise risk perspective as well as in the underwriting domain (pricing, underwriting, reserving). Attendees are encouraged to bring a laptop computer with Microsoft Excel installed. |
The seminar serves as an introduction to cyber risk and cyber insurance. Given that this is a relatively young field and standardized methodologies are only being developed, we focus on providing the participants with a thorough understanding of current best practices without getting too technical. After attending the seminar, participants will be familiar with the threat, vulnerability and insurance landscapes and will have been provided with ideas how to approach cyber risk in their own organization, with a focus on quantification, people aspects and the process of cyber incident response. The presentations will form a mix of an explanation of cyber risk concepts and an exploration of technical methodologies. Besides being provided with the theoretical basis, attendees are offered the opportunity to deepen their understanding through examples, exercises and case studies.
