Introduction

The Cyber Risk & Insurance Forum (CRIF) is dedicated to raising the awareness of information assurance within the Cyber Insurance market and Risk Management community through raising cyber security awareness and developing best practice guidelines.

Through encouragement of improved information assurance we are promoting a more complete vision of good practice that connects technology and organizations more effectively and supports the development of a robust digital economy that can be relied on to perform and deliver value. Our digital economy is increasingly dependent on technology and the pace of change is accelerating with more convergent technologies emerging and adoption increasing around the world. This 'smart tech' revolution can bring significant opportunities to business and users, but the pace of change can outstrip the ability to manage the associated risks.
