As a sector intrinsically tied to digital technology, cyber insurance is known for its dynamic and evolving nature. Looking toward the remainder of 2020, as COVID-19 upends how businesses interact with technology, the reinsurance market sees a number of emerging trends that present both potential challenges and opportunities.
The global COVID-19 pandemic has had dramatic effects on operating models and modes of working, technology choices and tech tools utilization, risk controls environment, risk monitoring capabilities, and more. Combined with rogue actor motivations, which have amplified the cyber risk exposure of organizations, Guy Carpenter-affiliate Oliver Wyman sees clear changes and increases in attack surfaces, the emergence of new threat vectors, increased criminal cyber activity and increasing human resource and communication challenges – all of which are making this already complex risk domain into an even bigger challenge. Financial institutions, in particular, have been hit more significantly due to the nature of the business and importance to maintain operations during this crisis.
