Most businesses and organizations rely on technology and data for their operations.  This includes systems, applications, servers, cloud operations, desktops, laptops and the internet. Any disruption to the IT infrastructure or a breach of data could result in significant harm to the company’s operations, staff and customers, as well as its reputation. To manage the risk and associated costs and losses that may arise from a cyberattack, businesses are increasingly obtaining cyber insurance.  It is vital for in-house counsel to have a strong understanding of cyber insurance, coverages and exclusions under policies, policy application in the event of a cyber attack, allocation of cyber risk between parties, and how a cyber insurance policy fits into the organization’s management of risk to carry out their roles effectively. This session will provide an important overview of cyber insurance, its application, and the role of cyber insurance in cyber risk management.
