Abstract

Given cyber attacks' increasing frequency & complexity, cybersecurity is essential for P&C insurance. To model, reduce, and transfer cyber risks, insurers must innovate in light of businesses' reliance on digital ecosystems. Cyber insurance encourages better security methods while offering monetary protection against ransomware, breaches, & other events. However, cyber hazards are ever-changing, unpredictable, & impacted by laws, technology, & how people act. Big data, AI, & advanced analytics improve risk analysis by improving scenario analysis & real-time data integration. Insurers use predictive algorithms to estimate risk, determine rates, & create customized plans. In a progressively cyber-vulnerable world, insurers can protect the portfolios, promote creative thinking, & establish themselves as reliable partners by tackling these issues. Navigating the changing world of cyber threats requires flexibility, technological investment, and teamwork.
