Cyber insurance is a key focus of Munich Re’s innovation strategy, according to Stefan Golling, Chief Underwriter, Munich Re. “We have made significant investments in our own cyber risk expertise and we seek to complement this with insights from the cyber eco-system,” Golling comments. “Leveraging the capabilities of CyberCube will help our underwriting and risk modeling teams in better quantifying cyber risk and understanding potential cyber accumulation scenarios.”
In a connected world, managing cyber risk is a high priority for businesses and a huge opportunity for insurance carrier. However, insurers and reinsurers need to prudently quantify both the extent of the opportunity and the risk posed by cyber risk. It is essential for reinsurers to understand the potentially cascading impact of typically aggregated cyber-attacks and prepare for it. CyberCube reports that it addresses this challenge by providing advanced risk modeling capabilities to Munich Re with several cyber risk aggregation scenarios.
