LONDON
22 OCTOBER 2026
Cyber risk management is currently fragmented. Security teams are overwhelmed and using tools that rarely integrate seamlessly. Risk frameworks are built for compliance theater, not actual threat response. AI is introducing attack surfaces faster than defenses can adapt.
And when breaches happen, the disconnect between what security teams built, what risk leaders thought they had, and what insurance actually covers creates expensive surprises for everyone.
We will be confronting the core question: Does our current approach to cyber risk actually make organizations more resilient?
Join 200+ senior leaders from across insurance, cybersecurity, corporates, and digital risk to shape the next chapter of our industry.

OPENING KEYNOTE | THE U.S. CYBER RISK REALITY CHECK – WHERE IS RISK ACCUMULATING?

10:00 – 10:30
WHEN CYBER LOSS BECOMES A MARKET ISSUE: A REAL LOSS CASE ANALYSIS
An anonymized claims-led walkthrough of a real cyber event, tracing underwriting assumptions, coverage interpretation, and claims outcomes.

THE OPERATORS PERSPECTIVE ON HOW AI IS RESHAPING CYBER RISK AT PLATFORM SCALE
As AI and agentic commerce become embedded into digital platforms, cyber risk is no longer confined to enterprise boundaries. For platform operators supporting millions of businesses, AI simultaneously expands defensive capability and accelerates risk propagation across entire ecosystems.

AFTERNOON SESSIONS | CHOOSE YOUR TRACK
TRACK A: CYBER RISK WAR GAMES
A live, facilitated scenario exercise where cross-functional teams respond to an unfolding cyber event in real-time.
TRACK B: INSIDE THE PRICING BLACK BOX: WHEN CAT MODELS DIVERGE
This session brings together internal cat modelers to explain why their loss estimates diverge and what drives the differences. Is the reason data, methodology, or the inherent unpredictability of cyber catastrophe and what does this mean for how much we should trust these models.
TRACK C: THE SILENT CLAIM: WEBSITE TRACKING LITIGATION
Many companies use tracking pixels and analytics tools that, due to misconfiguration, transmit user data to third parties even when users opt out triggering regulatory violations and class action litigation.
Moderator:
Jamie Schiubuk, Head of Cyber & PL Open Brokerage, Arch Insurance
TRACK D: WHAT UNDERWRITERS LOOK AT IN YOUR APPLICATION
This session pulls back the curtain on how leading insurers evaluate cyber risk, vet security vendors, and make underwriting decisions. Are we determining risk accurately? How do we shift from approving risks to engineering better outcomes?
TRACK E: THE ATTRIBUTION NIGHTMARE
Who pays when attribution is impossible, how are we improving cyber risk readiness?
14:30 – 15:30
NETWORKING BREAK
15:30 – 16:00
PANEL DISCUSSION | BUSINESS INTERRUPTION: UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF CYBER ATTACK ON OPERATIONS AND INCIDENT RESPONSE
Business interruption is the most purchased and least understood coverage in cyber insurance, questions will look at:
● What actually triggers BI coverage? When does the clock start? What’s excluded that buyers think is included?
● Address dependent BI – if your cloud provider goes down, are you covered?
Panellists:
Dan Law, Head of Cyber Practice, The Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company
16:00 – 16:45
POINT 2 POINT | WHAT SHOULD CYBER INSURANCE ACTUALLY ABSORB?
● AI-driven attacks and the attribution problem
