Webinar: The Dark Art of Cyber Underwriting
Cyber insurance is one of the newer products in the market and is growing and changing all the time.
This webinar gives an overview of the history of the product and key covers it provides, with no bias
towards any one insurer. It looks at some recent cyber incidents, and in the light of those reflects on how brokers can better help clients to prepare & defend themselves, and what changes insurers may look to introduce as cyber risk continues to evolve.
