AssessImproveProtectMaintainRecoverDetect Understand current cyber exposure and gaps or flaws in protection. What is my possible maximum loss ? What investment will give me the best protection? How insurers recognise the investment? What protection can insurance give me to risks I cannot manage? What financial safety will insurance give me? What is my exposure to new threats? Who will alert me to new cyber risks to my business? How will I know I am breached ? How do I get rapid access to forensic analysis? What services will I need to get back to business? What financial support will I get? Limited linkages between investment and risk mitigation. Current cyber policies not optimised for the ‘Internet of things’. Proliferation of ‘connected’ devices will rapidly increase exposure and contagion risks. Some policies are bundled with forensic services to understand breaches and feed in to detection activities.
