Proactive Cyber Insurance: are services overtaking traditional underwriting? 

22 January 2026 10:00 - 12:00

Waterloo, London

We explored the following questions: 
– When insurers price risk using continuous monitoring, does underwriting become operational control? 
– How can coverage and event response gaps be addressed in proactive cyber insurance? 
– Has underwriting shifted from modeling loss to modeling behavior? 

Where does responsibility sit when monitoring highlights weaknesses organisations can’t immediately address?
