Cyber War Exclusions

Placing You First Insurance Podcast by CRC Group

Cybercriminals have turned the internet into a virtual battlefield, but insurers are increasingly worried about the growing risks that actual war and state-sponsored attacks pose to the market. Many insurers are adding new cyber war and terrorism exclusions to their cyber policies that further complicate an already complex marketplace. Amanda and Scott are joined by Lori Wheeler, a Broker with CRC Group’s Dallas office, and Tim Graham, a Broker with CRC’s Chicago office. They’re going to fill us in on what these exclusions can mean for clients.
Featuring:
