Cyber warfare and the war exclusion

In this IIL claims webinar, Meghan Dalton, Courtney Logli and Jack Stamos focus on the application of war exclusion in relation to claims that arise due to cyber warfare. The panel address the history of the war exclusion, the interpretation of language commonly used in war exclusions and the potential for the application of the war exclusion on cyber-related claims.

This webinar includes a discussion of the history of case law that has analysed the war exclusion and similar terms. The speakers discuss the implication of courts’ interpretations of relevant terms, addressing recent lawsuits that have attempted to seek coverage under the war exclusion and the court’s interpretations of that language.

Relevant current events topics will also be addressed, including cyber-attacks in the context of Russia’s war in Ukraine. The presenters also address other exclusions that may be implicated in cyber warfare, such as sanctions or terrorism exclusions.

Learning Objectives:

• Address key issues in applying the war exclusion
• Inform the audience of major cases and recent litigation relating to the application of the war exclusion
• Advise the audience of other exclusions that may be implicated in the context of cyber warfare, including sanctions and terrorism exclusions
