Understanding Systemic Risks

At CRIF we plan to provide useful information and articles covering various threads of Cyber Risk & Insurance.  One such thread is that of underwriting and through a series of bi-monthly articles we hope to provide some insight into how cyber risks are underwritten and what underwriters look for when analysing submissions.  Each article will include commentary from the various CRIF members covering broker, legal & technical perspectives where necessary.
