Introduction

The Cyber Risk & Insurance Forum (CRIF) is dedicated to raising the awareness of information assurance within the Cyber Insurance market and Risk Management community through raising cyber security awareness and developing best practice guidelines.  
Managing Cyber Risk in a digital world
Through encouragement of improved information assurance we are promoting a more complete vision of good practice that connects technology and organizations more effectively and supports the development of a robust digital economy that can be relied on to perform and deliver value.   Our digital economy is increasingly dependent on technology and the pace of change is accelerating with more convergent technologies emerging and adoption increasing around the world.  This 'smart tech' revolution can bring significant opportunities to business and users, but the pace of change can outstrip the ability to manage the associated risks.

As an insurance broker my clients expect me to appraise what is valuable and important to their business, assess the potential threats, the consequences of an incident and then advise on ways to reduce the risks and recommend relevant insurance to mitigate any potential losses.  When it comes to Cyber Risk - and despite the constant warning from government, experts and the media - getting business owners to act responsibly is tough.

Cyber Risk & Insurance

IT risk does not exist in isolation, it is part of the risk that surrounds us, yet for many organizations the perception is that it is separate.  This attitude persists across business with a general failure to properly consider the impact of a major Cyber incident being far too commonplace. With technology driving convergence and integration managing Cyber Risk has to be a shared responsibility
