Bouloux said: “Cyber insurance is in the spotlight more than ever. Governments around the world might debate security and privacy issues however insurers can’t sit back and await the outcomes. Huge global companies are at increasing risk from a growing number of cyber threats and we have a responsibility to provide cover that is fit for purpose.
