Cyber insurance is a growth area. Clients are increasingly concerned with data security (think: Mossack Fonseca, Wikileaks) and other risks linked to doing business using networked information technology. Cyber insurance is intended to address these risks.
In this seminar Steve Keall barrister provides a beginner's guide to the key topics concerning cyber insurance. These include how insurance may respond to:
(i) loss and damage to a client's own equipment as a result of hacking,
(ii) liability to customers in respect of the misuse of confidential or private information,
(iii) investigating and responding to extortion and other relevant issues.
The talk will provide an overview of what products are emerging in the marketplace and then consider the general commercial and legal issues regarding cyber insurance.
