About this event

For some organisations, cyber insurance is a vital safety net, a key part of their risk management strategy that provides peace of mind in the event of a cyber attack. For others, it’s a confusing and often frustrating world of complex exclusions, rising premiums, and uncertainty over what’s actually covered. And when the worst happens, will your policy be your lifeline or will it leave you exposed when you need it most?

Cyber insurance has become a hot topic in boardrooms, but many businesses still struggle to navigate the fine print and understand how these policies truly work. Misconceptions are common, from overestimating what’s covered to underestimating the conditions required for a successful claim.

In this session, we’re bringing together an expert panel of insurers, legal professionals, and regulators to demystify cyber insurance and give you the clarity you need. We’ll break down what businesses often get right and wrong when purchasing policies, how insurers evaluate cyber risks, and how insurance should be viewed as part of a broader approach to cyber resilience.

You’ll gain insights into:

  • What insurers look for when assessing your organisation’s risk profile
  • Common pitfalls businesses face when buying cyber insurance
  • The evolving landscape of cyber insurance coverage and claims
  • How cyber insurance interacts with your security controls, compliance requirements, and legal obligations

Whether your organisation already holds a cyber insurance policy, is considering taking one out, or you simply want a better understanding of how insurance fits into your overall cyber strategy, this session will help you separate fact from fiction and ensure you’re asking the right questions.

Please note that your email address will be shared with all involved parties
