Cyber Insurance
Chair
Black, John
Sarkar, Richik
Mission Statement
We are the Cyber Insurance Subcommittee. Our focus is on following, and educating business lawyers concerning, developments in the rapidly changing cyber insurance world. While cyber insurance is still a fairly young line of insurance - having existed as a commercially viable insurance product for only 10-15 years - cyber insurance has evolved rapidly in that time to address significant changes in technology, the implementation of that technology within business operations, and legislative, regulatory and judicial developments in response to the implementation of technology. As cyber insurance policies are far from uniform, policies can be complex and difficult to understand particularly as cyber insurers offer multiple coverages designed to respond to many specific risks, including loss of control over personal data, ransomware and business interruption. Many cyber insurers also specialize in writing cyber insurance for specific types of businesses, such as financial institutions, healthcare organizations, municipalities, retailers and professional services firms, which can make understanding and evaluating cyber insurance and risk management even more challenging.
