Cyber-Risk ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Dynamic, possibly systemic Borderless Difficult to trace Detection time lag Under reporting of attacks Difficult to model Rising severity and frequency of attacks Catastrophic cyber event – when? not if Cyber attacks are 10 th in top 10 global risks in terms of perceived likelihood [WEF Global Risk Landscape 2015 ]
Cyber-Terrorism One definition: “Cyberterrorism is the convergence of cyberspace and terrorism. It refers to unlawful attacks and threats of attacks against computers, networks and the information stored therein when done to intimidate or coerce a government or its people in furtherance of political or social objectives. ” (Denning, 2000: 1)
Cyber-Catastrophe
New Business Class - 2015? ♦ Standalone cyber insurance developing to fill the gap where standard policies do not cover cyber-risk ♦ Coverage depends on policies’ wording and definition of event – mostly 1 st party loss coverage ♦ Cautious underwriting approach – net lines, relatively high deductibles, low limits, high premiums
Current Status ♦ Insurance is part of the toolkit to manage cyber-risk exposure ♦ Market opportunity, e. g. EU data protection ♦ Opportunities to support insurance development and take up through Ø better disclosure of cyber-risks and events Ø adoption of standards for cyber security and resilience e. g. NIST (US), Cyber Essentials (UK), ISO 27000, CESG’s 10 steps Ø better understanding of exposure to cyber risk among large organisations in sectors of national importance q CBEST Vulnerability Testing Framework q PRA’s General Insurance Stress Test 2015
Reinsurance – 2015? ♦ Reinsurance specific for cyber-terrorism peril or for business interruption and property damage following significant cyber attack – defined by: Ø loss threshold? (possible, needs consensus) Ø severity of disruption? (needs definition) Ø government use of “cyber-terrorism” phrase? (unlikely) ♦ Government involvement Ø last resort, for catastrophic events/losses Ø beyond defined excess point – how much? £ 10 bn, £ 100 bn? £ 200 bn? Ø ‘interpretive’ based on national confidence as well as security
Cyber Reinsurance ♦ Making insurance work as a whole - shared learning & best practice, clarity, and certainty in the insurance market ♦ Supporting UK prosperity Ø resilience Ø imports and exports ♦ Such a scheme would involve: Ø agreement on standard cyber cover and wording Ø removing exclusions from standard policies Ø expanding coverage to include business interruption, property damage and bodily injury Ø more ‘objective’ pricing of premiums

Conclusion ♦ Cyber is ‘solved’ when it’s insurable ♦ Business interested in ‘business interruption’ insurance ♦ Insurance-linked securities can accelerate information collection and regulatory acceptance ♦ Smart ledgers provide a robust system on the system of ‘insurable interest’, i. e. the internet
