6. Q1: What is Cyber Risk ? Definition and categorisation 6 Any risk form the use of IT systems that affects the confidentiality, availability or integrity of information (systems) caused by (non) criminal activity Cyber Risk is characterized by - interdependencies, - potential extreme events, - high uncertainty with respect to data and modelling approach… - and risk of change Source: GA

7. Q3: Where can one find data on cyber risks ? 7 Scarce, because of reluctance to report occurrences by the ‘victims’Most empirical research is based on data breach information (not loss information) Source: GA

8. Q5: Micro-perspective: How should cyber risk management be organized ? 8 In each of the 5 steps of the risk management there are special features for cyber risk… Standard tools and instruments should not be used Institutional commitment Effective crisis management Risk communication with stakeholders Continuous monitoring => Focus on mitigation Source: GA

9. Q8: What can the insurance industry do to prevent cyber risks and to support cyber insurance ? 9 A)To prevent cyber risks: (1)develop standards (2)common language and good practices (3)scenario analysis (4)dialogue with stakeholders (5)follow-up on technological development (6)further develop analytical and modelling skills (7)secure own systems B) To support cyber insurance: (1) develop anonymized data pool (2) develop (re)insurance pool (3) analyse existing policies (4) develop new adequate products/policies Source: GA
