As organisations worldwide grapple with significant disruptions and outages today due to a cybersecurity software update, Howden Re's Luke Foord-Kelcey, Global Head of Cyber, and Harriet Gruen, Head of Cyber Threat Intelligence, share their thoughts on the implications and exposures for the (re)insurance industry in our latest News and Insights article. "At Howden we maintain an industry exposure database for the Cyber market, covering around USD 9 billion (or 65%) of gross written premium," says Luke. "Our data suggests that Australia accounts for just over 2.5% of Cyber GWP, and the Air Transport sector (including airlines, airports and couriers) a little under 0.5%, with exposure figures [limit deployed by insurers] broadly in line with this. Given that this is a non-malicious cyber event caused by a failed patch from a third-party vendor, it may trigger Systems Failure Business Interruption-type insuring clauses, subject to waiting periods typically in the region of 8-12 hours.” Read more at: https://lnkd.in/enMiyegP #HowdenRe #Reinsurance #Insurance #Cyber #businessinteruption #Microsoft365, #MicrosoftOutage
