Munich Re Global Cyber Risk and Insurance Survey 2022

whitePaper | May 20, 2022

Anticipating the risks of tomorrow is embedded in our DNA at Munich Re, which is why we have been involved in managing cyber risk from the first moment it became a consideration - and continue to keep pace with its lightning-fast development. As the challenges this risk class poses to the global economy grow, we, and the insurance industry as a whole, need to provide proper solutions capable of addressing risk capacity and sustainability for this line of business.

What Every CISO Needs to Know About Cyber Insurance

whitePaper | March 2, 2020

Decades ago, a group of merchants created a concept of general average—which is when all parties in a maritime venture share in losses resulting from a sacrifice of cargo in an emergency. What this group fashioned in 1890 was a method for merchants to insure their shipped goods. Upon landing, merchants whose cargo landed safely were expected to contribute a portion to merchants whose goods had been lost at sea. With this, an early form of insurance was born.
