Afternoon Cyber Tea with Ann Johnson

Cyber Insurance Past, Present, and Future

Listen Later

Dr. Josephine Wolff, associate professor of cybersecurity policy within The Fletcher School at Tufts University, joins Afternoon Cyber Tea this week to discuss the history, challenges, and opportunities in cyber insurance. What was first developed in the late 1990s as protection against computer viruses, cyber insurance has evolved into an incredibly complex and, in some cases, tension-filled industry. Ann and Dr. Wolff discuss the cyber insurance industry’s initial goals, the differences in cyber insurance policies, and the points of view on ransomware insurance directly funding cybercrime.

  • What types of risks do insurers cover, and how they are designing and charging for policies
