The cyber insurance market looks competitive and even soft, but that picture may not last.
In this episode of the Cyber Insurance News & Information podcast, Executive Editor and host Martin Hinton talks with Peter Foster, Chairman of Willis’ Global FINEX Cyber Solutions. They examine how vendor concentration, ransomware, AI and data privacy are reshaping the cyber insurance market for boards, CISOs and business owners.
In this conversation, Peter Foster explains:
– Why systemic third-party and vendor failures remain the nightmare scenario for the cyber insurance market
– How ransomware, privacy claims and tracking pixels are driving cyber liability insurance losses
– Why many boards feel confident, but claims data shows big gaps in readiness
– How AI introduces new exposure across cyber, tech E&O and professional liability
– What small and mid-sized firms really face when they get hit and lack deep resources
– What underwriters now expect to see at renewal: drills, staffing, controls and clear governance
If you work in risk, security, broking or on a board, this episode offers a direct view into how the cyber insurance market is evolving and what questions you should ask before your next renewal.
