Unlocking Opportunity for Risk Transfer
“Cyber risk is a huge opportunity for the global insurance sector that will require significant capital to support that growth,” comments Michael Millette, Founder and Managing Partner, HSCM Bermuda. “HSCM Bermuda is taking a holistic approach to the cyber sector, not just investing directly in the risk but also in companies that understand it and can help in making it more understandable.
