    Nicole’s talk will be a primer on Cyber Insurance, a market that is expected to reach $23 billion by 2025. Many companies, large and small, have purchased cyber insurance or are in the process. Technical information security professionals are being asked to participate in this activity with little to no background information on how the commercial insurance industry works, what these policies cover, and more specifically how the cyber insurance market works. This talk will also explore some of the common policy exclusions such as the act of war exclusion, which is at the forefront of the Zurich v. Mondelez case over NotPetya.
