This event looked at the implications of becoming a full stack insurer. This included the regulatory and compliance implications, how much capital is needed, where to go for the relevant expert guidance and why there are so few new full stack insurers in the UK.

Cyber-crime is not new, but as the methods of nefarious actors have become more sophisticated, the defensive capabilities of organizations have failed to keep pace. Cyber-attacks on organizations show no signs of abating, they are becoming increasingly indiscriminate in their targeting, with small and medium sized firms now as vulnerable as their larger counterparts. A recent report by Hiscox brings the scale of the problem into sharp relief as according to the study, cyber-attacks against organizations have surged from 38% to 53% in the last 12 months. Despite this surge, however, recent figures show that 68% of North American businesses have yet to purchase any form of cyber insurance.
