Dynamic Risk Assessments

The business case for dynamic risk assessment

Risk Management is a discipline with an extensive heritage. For example, the insurance industry has been built on, and profits from, disciplined risk management.

However, cyberspace is a constantly evolving landscape with changes occurring far more rapidly than in traditional cover areas such as home and contents, car, travel etc. Due to the lack of established data the cyber insurance industry has struggled to develop models to accurately determine what to cover and for how much.
