Summary:

In a world where society and economic activity are increasingly dependent on new technology and the internet, traditional IT practices are no longer enough to face cyber risks. While it is not possible to eliminate cyber risks completely, the establishment of shared cyber protection practices can limit economic losses and reputational repercussions for companies. This publication analyses the different ways of facing cyber risks, highlighting the importance of understanding risks well and managing them efficiently, as well as the role of (re)insurance and particularly Chief Risk Officers (CROs) in this field.
