Evolving role of reinsurance in a world fraught with cyber risks

Commercial insurance has traditionally protected businesses from a wide range of unexpected circumstances. These circumstances underwent significant change during the pandemic, with the move to remote work and plans for business continuity. But these are not the only coverages affected by the pandemic. Cyber security threats have also spiralled.

• How rising threats are leading to higher cyber insurance adoption.
• How insurers are putting in place better risk management strategies for cyber security.
• How choosing the right reinsurance strategy can protect insurers from heightened exposure.
