What will the future of cyber risk look like?

The globalization of value chains, increased financial integration, rapid urbanization, and the Internet’s ubiquity have all accelerated worldwide economic growth over the past few decades. Unfortunately, these same developments have also significantly increased our vulnerability to external shocks and global crises. With risks mounting and traditional systems of control weakening, now is the time to ask: do the risks of being connected outweigh the benefits to global economic growth?

  • John Scott, Chief Risk Officer, Zurich Global Corporate, Zurich Insurance Group
10:00 - 10:45

1100 – 1130 / Real Claims Trends

Does the reality of cyber loss experience match the topics discussed at most conferences? Much time is spent discussing data breach, but is that what is keeping underwriters up at night? This session will outline where the actual claims are coming from – intellectual property theft, E&O, media liability, etc. Is the loss trend shifting? How is it affecting carrier pricing models and driving pricing and underwriting controls?

Afternoon Break

15:30 - 16:15

Is the Cyber Market Fit for Purpose?

Is the Cyber market fit for purpose? Is there a disconnect between boardroom perceptions of the adequacy of insurance cover for cyber risks and the reality? This session looks at the risks businesses are seeking to transfer to insurance and discusses the practicalities of a full response from the insurance market.
Panelists will also discuss where cyber cover could lie in existing policies and whether policy wordings are keeping up with the pace of change in exposures, such as operational risk. the skills available in the insurance sector to adequately assess and price risk and the importance of building relationships between insurance and business to ensure the market is fit for purpose.

Cyber War Game

The military does it, the government 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. Ahead of our conference, 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. An observation team will critique the handling of the incident and report back some best practices and key takeaways for our conference audience in London.
