P752 - WORKSHOP ON CYBER INSURANCE AND D&O (NON-LIFE)

(2024 - 25)

 

Background:

 

Cyber security is becoming a major cause of concern for organizations, government and individuals. The frequency of cyber-attack events along with increasing complexity and dependence on information and communication technology is making cyber risk management increasingly onerous.  From multinationals to SMEs to start-ups, all those with access to private and confidential information of third parties have the responsibility of keeping the information protected.  These entities are exposed to e-theft, failure of service, destruction of critical data etc.  Apart from financial and legal risk due to such cyber incidents, they may also face risk of losing their reputation. Further regulations stipulate stringent reporting requirements, notification procedures fulfilment, and penalties for security breach.

Similarly, Directors and officers (D&O) liability insurance covers directors and officers or their company or organization if sued (most policies exclude fraud and criminal offenses). D&O insurance claims are paid to cover losses associated with the lawsuit, including legal defence fees. In the present scenario, D & O policy is the most sought-after policy in view of the huge number of claims being reported after the pandemic.
