This study on the insurance sector’s digital transformation highlights a paradox: adopting technologies like cloud computing, AI, and IoT enhances efficiency but increases cybersecurity risks. A survey of 150 professionals and interviews with 15 executives show a strong correlation (r = .78, p < .01) between digital technology use and security incidents, with phishing (88%), cloud misconfigurations (45%), and IoT vulnerabilities (25%) prevalent. Traditional defenses score high (e.g., network perimeter: 4.1/5), but IoT and software supply chain security lag (2.4–2.7/5). Cyber insurance now uses dynamic risk assessments, with 90% of underwriters employing external security ratings and 75% applying surcharges for high-risk technologies.

Insurance Europe and the European Insurance CFO Forum responded to the EFRAG consultation on the revised Exposure Drafts of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). In their joint letter, views were expressed that while simplification efforts were welcomed, the standards remain too complex and burdensome.
The organizations called for 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 to be confirmed as an overarching principle prioritizing relevance and proportionality. They stated the 𝗗𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 (𝗗𝗠𝗔) is still overly complex and suggested the materiality filter should apply across all standards.

Le secteur de l'assurance en France a signé un accord historique pour l'emploi des salariés expérimentés. Cet accord vise à valoriser les compétences et à accompagner les carrières longues. Il repose sur cinq piliers : changer le regard sur l'âge, recruter et accompagner, préserver la santé, aménager les fins de carrière et s'appuyer sur un diagnostic chiffré. Des mesures concrètes sont prévues, telles que des entretiens professionnels aux âges clés et la promotion de la coopération intergénérationnelle. Cet accord positionne le secteur de l'assurance en tant que pionnier dans l'accompagnement des carrières longues.
En 2026, l’Autorité Bancaire Européenne (EBA) intensifie la mise en œuvre du règlement DORA face aux cybermenaces croissantes et à la dépendance aux fournisseurs tiers. Les priorités incluent la surveillance directe des fournisseurs tiers critiques (CTPPs) via un cadre conjoint avec l’ESMA et l’EIOPA, des inspections ciblées et des analyses thématiques. L’EBA renforcera l’analyse des incidents TIC et publiera un rapport annuel sur les cybermenaces. Les institutions financières devront améliorer leurs cadres de gestion des risques TIC et leur résilience interne, sous une supervision accrue, pour assurer conformité et robustesse dans un environnement numérique complexe.

Les compagnies d'assurances sont cruciales pour détecter la 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 (ex: immatriculation de véhicules à l'étranger) et les escroqueries aux prestations de santé. Les assureurs-vie doivent aussi exercer une vigilance accrue envers les 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗼𝘀é𝗲𝘀 (𝗣𝗣𝗘).
Les établissements bancaires et de paiement sont les plus impliqués dans les cas de BC-FT. Le risque est jugé élevé pour les banques privées (corruption, fraude fiscale IFI) et les banques de financement (blanchiment via le commerce international). Les établissements de paiement, en raison de la facilité d'ouverture de comptes, sont souvent exploités comme "comptes de passage" par des sociétés éphémères. La vigilance de ces institutions est vitale face à une criminalité financière en constante évolution.
This publication presents recommendations for integrating cybersecurity incident response into risk management, using the 𝗡𝗜𝗦𝗧 𝗖𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 (𝗖𝗦𝗙) 𝟮.𝟬 as a reference model. It defines a life-cycle based on the six CSF functions (𝗚𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻, 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆, 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁, 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁, 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗱, 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿), outlines roles and responsibilities, and provides a “Community Profile” mapping priorities, recommendations, and considerations for incident response. The document also emphasizes continuous improvement, customizing guidance to organizational context, and leveraging other NIST and external resources.
The study examines behavioral and informational factors influencing German SMEs' cyber insurance decisions, based on a survey of 1,248 executives. Findings indicate that perceived financial impact and anxiety about cyberattacks significantly increase purchase likelihood, while perceived probability of attack and prior experience do not. External cybersecurity expertise positively affects demand, whereas reliance on independent Internet research reduces it, attributed to information overload. Internal risk assessments show no significant effect. Firm size is a strong determinant, with micro and small enterprises less likely to purchase than large firms. The research highlights emotional and informational influences over rational risk estimates.
The white paper examines how the EU’s **NIS2 Directive** and **DORA Regulation** impose resilience, security, and compliance obligations on critical and financial-sector entities. It describes how NIS2 applies broadly to “essential” and “important” operators, while DORA targets financial firms, and compares their requirements for risk management, incident reporting, audits, third-party oversight, governance, testing, and information sharing. The document outlines potential penalties for noncompliance, the need for gap assessments and harmonization across jurisdictions, and emphasizes that entities both inside and outside the EU may be affected by these rules.
The provided text is an **academic article** that offers a comprehensive **analytical review of cyber risk management** within the insurance industry, focusing heavily on the **mathematical models** used for risk quantification and premium pricing. The review systematically covers the current state-of-the-art in cyber risk, discussing how dynamic and interconnected threats challenge traditional actuarial methods, necessitating the use of advanced quantitative tools like **stochastic models and copulas** to manage dependencies and calculate **Solvency Capital Requirements (SCR)**. It thoroughly details various **vulnerability functions** (including the well-known Gordon-Loeb model and its extensions) and different **premium calculation principles** (such as Expected Value and Mean-Variance), concluding that closer collaboration between different disciplines is essential for developing **robust cyber insurance and reinsurance solutions** in an increasingly digital landscape.
