Cyber insurance is no longer as alien as it had been just a few years ago, but the threat landscape is incredibly dynamic thus causing the cyber insurance industry to continually adjust and redefine its posture.

Although we spoke with Max Pragnell, of Gallagher Insurance Brokers, just about a year ago, a lot has changed. In this conversation, he discusses, among other things:

* key changes that have occurred in the cybersecurity and cyber insurance space;

* how cascading failures (across organisations, subsidiaries or business units, for example) from a single attack are being handled; and

* "data breach insurance" and what cyber insurance coverage may be available.
