Cyber is still an emerging risk, and as such, requires a degree of flexibility in underwriting to properly serve the needs of policyholders. In yesterday's congressional hearing, as detailed in The Wall Street Journal by James Rundle and Catherine Stupp, Cowbell's Jack Kudale discussed the evolution of cyber threats and the flexibility that insurers must have to customize their policies accordingly. https://lnkd.in/gPh3qSjD #CyberInsurance #CyberResilience #InsuranceInnovation #MoreCowbell

On this #NationalInsuranceDay, a great read from James Rundle and Catherine Stupp in the The Wall Street Journal featuring commentary from Jack Kudale at Cowbell. Insurers told a congressional hearing Thursday that they need the flexibility to determine what they will and won’t cover under cyber policies, saying they are still trying to understand the risks associated with cyberattacks. The House Committee on Homeland Security’s subcommittee on cybersecurity and infrastructure protection held the hearing to explore how cyber insurance is being used by critical-infrastructure operators, amid warnings of hacking efforts from China and Russia. Jack Kudale, chief executive of Pleasanton, Calif.-based insurer Cowbell Cyber, said during the hearing that cyber is still an emerging risk, and as such, requires a degree of flexibility in underwriting to properly serve the needs of policyholders. “Over the last 10 years, the terminology in coverage has been evolving, and we’re still not there. Putting limitations and standardization might hurt how nimble we are,” he said. The evolution of cyber threats also means that insurers must have the flexibility to customize their policies accordingly, he added. #cyber #cybersecurity #infosec #infosecurity #cyberattack #insurance #cyberinsurance #Cyberresilience #InsuranceInnovation #TechEOInsurance #MoreCowbell #tech #technology

However, stressing why Cyber insurance is so crucial to clients (particularly to those are not too tech-savvy), can be difficult.

#InsuranceNation #cyberliabilityinsurance #callus #accountreview #independentinsuranceagency #choicesmatter Cybercriminals may target insurers because the company files contain sensitive policyholder information and they believe insurance companies have deep pockets to extort. Most insurers and insured business owners understand the gravity of falling victim to a cyberattack but may not prioritize good cyber hygiene in everyday practices, which could have devastating consequences.

The SEC's new cyberattack reporting rule significantly alters the landscape for public companies and insurers. This rule emphasizes directors' accountability in cybersecurity governance, potentially leading to enforcement actions and shareholder claims. It complicates insurance coverage, with Director and Officer (D&O) policies increasingly excluding cyber incidents and cyber insurance often not covering SEC actions. This development necessitates a strategic reassessment of insurance programs by public companies. Below you can find three recommendations we have for ensuring you are adequately covered. The SEC's rule is a game-changer, signaling a heightened regulatory focus on cybersecurity. Companies must adapt by enhancing their cybersecurity measures and strategically managing their insurance portfolios to navigate these new challenges effectively. #insurancenews #underwriting #insurance https://lnkd.in/gYZZgBnR?
