Learn from insurance: cyber bore

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to look at how cyber insurance markets might work with the backing of government reinsurance. Design/methodology/approach - The paper is based on interviews and workshops on cyber security, cyber terrorism and cyber crime. Findings - The paper links a successful 1990s' approach to property terrorism risk to helping address cyber risk. Originality/value - Of note, the author suggests that cyber risk is under control when organisations at risk can purchase normal insurances.
