Have you seen that rating agency AM Best has warned that a growing cyber book could present a material risk to a re/insurer’s financial strength if it is not carefully managed and appropriately monitored, as featured in Reinsurance News? While this is a topic that must be treated seriously due to the potentially catastrophic financial risks, it’s also worth noting that it can also be a source of profitable growth and innovation for carriers too. We think this balance has been well reported by AM Best. We offer Cyber Risk Specialty Insurance at Alta Signa, developing a comprehensive cover that protects companies against any cyber exposures such as data security breaches, remediation expenses, denial-of-service attack, malware attack, failure of patch management, identity theft and public relations expenses. You can find out more about our product offering on our website.

You have property insurance to protect tangible assets such as buildings and equipment. Do you have insurance to protect the intangible assets residing on your network? Thank you to Intanify and Dylan Dryden for the insightful discussion about the financial impact of not protecting intangible assets.
The loss of millions of files in a cyber incident extends beyond personal data—it’s the loss of valuable assets. The financial impact isn’t just about fines; it’s about how the market perceives your loss. Markets are savvy and will recognise when your trade secrets are compromised, potentially harming your revenue-generating ability for years. Just as directors rely on D&O insurance for protection, businesses must adopt robust strategies to safeguard their intangible assets. Every day, your intellectual property walks out the door and returns the next morning—ensuring it comes back intact is vital. Explore more insights on protecting your competitive advantage in our full interview with Kimberly Cauthorn, Senior Director and IP Leader at WTW. https://lnkd.in/efBhuyVJ #iprisk #insurance #cyber

Founder, CEO | market’s first Fidelity insurer of trade secrets covering the value of innovation assets. Advisor to inventors, Boards, and investors on intangible asset risk management and insurance.
There is so much going on in #tradesecrets it is hard to keep up! Today’s tips are really a teaser for a webinar I’m doing tomorrow with Shared Assessments about cyber risk and insurance for your third party service providers. I have a slightly different take on what this risk looks like today because we are squarely focused on #tradesecrets as potentially THE most valuable and completely uninsured asset most companies have. We will discuss “traditional” 😳😬 cyber risks and insurance plus what companies can do to shore up their vulnerabilities to theft of company innovation, know-how, competitive advantage which are your #crownjewels. Customers and business partners who are granted access to this information are a major threat. This is a Board and compliance risk but more importantly it can have a devastating impact to future earnings. #tradesecrettuesday #TST #coveryourassets Crown Jewel® Insurance

Begun work on my 2nd book. This one is focused on insurance and cyber. 1st book: “Stone Tablets to Satellites: The Continual Intimate but Awkward Relationship Between the Insurance Industry and Technology".
Every now and again, I remember that all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares. Every company or, more broadly, industry with OT-related cyber risks will also have IT-related cyber risks ... but not every company or, more broadly, industry with IT-related cyber risks will have OT-related cyber risks. How are insurers selling cyber insurance handling the difference (between IT-related and OT-related cyber risks) in their: 1. underwriting approaches; 2. the cyber insurance policies (inclusive of the wording of the terms, conditions, and restrictions) they sell; 3. train their brokers and other producers in the differences; 4. provide cyber claim service; 5. create reserves & surpluses; 6. manage their reinsurance ceding / assuming program; and 7. pursue alliances and partnerships with other financial organizations interested in providing capacity for cyber risk remediation? #cyber #cyberrisks #ITcyberrisks #OTcyberrisks

1 fundamental reason why insurance companies need to model cyber risk... They need enough capital to see them through a crisis 💥💸 That means they need their balance sheet to endure a big systemic event or catastrophe. By modelling cyber risk, insurance companies can set the necessary capital aside, which, in turn, will feed into future growth plans. For Gallagher Re, as a reinsurance broker, their biggest concern is understanding which client is most exposed to a big systemic event. With this information, they can advise their clients on which reinsurance option they should buy ✅ In short: Cyber risk modelling leads to a more sustainable industry! Watch this short video to learn more! 👇 ... 🎙 Want to learn more from Justyna, Global Head of Cyber Analytics at Gallagher Re? 🔗 Listen to the full episode here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ecuPMqNk (Spotify) | https://lnkd.in/eMdq4DWK (Apple) #cyber #cyberinsurance #incidentresponse #cybersecurity Thanks to our friends at SAWOO for producing this content piece with us.

#cyber #cyberinsurance #cyberattackers #sec #cyberlossmodels #probablecybermaximumloss You have got to get a chuckle out of this ... at least, if it wasn't so sad. Cyber Attacker turns in its victim to the SEC. Not that corporations aren't under pressure from all sides: their own government (regulators), worsening cyber attack space, plaintiff's attorneys, shareholders, and cyber attackers hitting them once to extort / shut down / damage their company's operations and once again as a snitch. I'd add insurers offering lowering levels of cyber insurance coverage - but coming from the insurance industry and continuing to believe that cyber risks are not insurable, for me that is a good result. I wonder if insurers offering cyber insurance - or firms creating cyber loss models - have factored in cyber attacker boomerang cyber losses (e.g., turning in their victims to the SEC) in to their cyber loss models? For me, estimating a probable maximum cyber loss is becoming more difficult by the day.
