Negotiating with Hackers: Ransomware and Cyber Policy
2025-07-01 18:00 - 19:00 | Zoom
Understand ransomware and cyber policy not from a textbook, but from the front lines.
Join us for a behind-the-scenes look into ransomware and cyber policy, digital extortion tactics, and the real-world decision-making that shapes ransomware negotiations. In this exclusive session, we will walk through how attackers think, how negotiations unfold, and what cyber insurance can and can’t protect against.
In partnership with DarkData, an elite cyber intelligence firm operating in the Deep and Dark Web, this event will blend technical insights with strategic decision-making frameworks to help organizations and insurers respond more effectively to ransomware threats.
What We’ll Cover

Inside the ransomware ecosystem.
The anatomy of a ransomware attack.
How the cyber insurance policy comes into a ransomware attack – for better and for worse.

Meet the speaker
Martin Brea has dedicated his entire professional career to the technology and software sector. In his early years, Martin Brea worked with artificial intelligence solutions and biometric identification systems to create secure digital identities for the financial industry. Four years ago, he co-founded DarkData with the aim of providing incident response services specialized in ransomware resolution.
About DarkData

Hybrid Mesh Architecture – The Next Big Factor in Cyber Insurance
2025-09-16 15:00 - 16:00 | Zoom
As businesses modernize their IT environments, many are moving away from traditional network models toward hybrid mesh architecture, a security approach that interconnects multiple security and networking components across on‑premises, cloud, and remote environments. This shift promises greater resilience, flexibility, and unified policy enforcement, but it also introduces new complexities and exposures that insurance professionals must understand.

For insurers, an insured’s network architecture is quickly becoming a key determinant in assessing cyber resilience, breach likelihood, and potential claims costs. Underwriters and brokers who grasp how hybrid mesh architectures are designed, deployed, and defended will be better positioned to evaluate insureds, set coverage terms, and advise clients on risk mitigation.

This Masterclass will explore the cyber risk management implications of hybrid mesh architecture for policyholders and the insurance professionals supporting them.

Learning Objectives:

Understand what hybrid mesh architecture is, how it works, and why organizations are adopting it
Assess how network design impacts threat exposure, detection capabilities, and breach containment
Identify the underwriting considerations unique to hybrid mesh environments, including interconnectivity risks, vendor dependencies, and incident response complexity.
Learn the right questions to ask insureds about their network architecture to inform coverage decisions and pricing

Lessons from Loss: Identifying and Applying Real-World Incident Data In Cyber Underwriting
2025-12-09 16:00 - 17:00 | Zoom
In the aftermath of a cyber event, the most accurate and actionable risk data comes not from assessments or scans, but from the real evidence revealed through investigation and recovery efforts.

This session explores how insurance practitioners can and should leverage these insights to bridge the gap between underwriting assumptions, claims realities, and long-term cyber resilience. By analyzing validated data such as control performance, response timelines, and recovery outcomes, insurers and policyholders can turn lessons learned into measurable risk improvement.

Participants will discover how to close the feedback loop between cyber events and future risk decisions, enhancing pricing accuracy, coverage design, and overall cyber readiness.

Elissa brings a rare, insider’s clarity on what practitioners actually need to understand, what truly moves the needle, and how to separate actionable IR insights from marketing fluff. With a career spent on both sides of the table, she uniquely understands how IR evidence should inform underwriting assumptions, policy design, and systemic risk assessment.

Learning objectives

By attending this session, participants will:

Understand how IR data provides a “ground truth” for cyber risk and claims validation.
Explore how structured IR methodologies improve efficiency and reduce total response costs.
Learn practical ways to feed post-incident findings back into underwriting and risk improvement.
Recognize collaboration models that enhance resilience and accelerate recovery across the ecosystem.

Our panelists were senior practitioners in broking, underwriting and claims handling, who have completed one of the industry’s most rigorous technical training programs. They shared their grounded, experience-led perspectives on where the market really stands, and what comes next.

Rather than predictions for prediction’s sake, this discussion focused on how today’s market dynamics are playing out in underwriting rooms, broker conversations, cyber policy design and claims decision-making.
State of the Cyber Insurance Market 2026 – Discussion Themes
Topics we discussed included:

Why the cyber insurance market continues to swing between growth and correction – and what this says about underwriting discipline and market maturity
Whether today’s soft market is sustainable, or quietly setting the conditions for the next hard market
Where real growth is (and isn’t) happening – including lessons from emerging markets such as LATAM
How brokers and underwriters can unlock demand without sacrificing risk quality or trust
Whether cyber products are evolving fast enough to reflect emerging, sector-specific exposures
What a sustainable cyber market actually looks like – balancing growth, pricing discipline and long-term resilience

This session is designed for brokers, underwriters, claims professionals and cyber leaders who want a clear-eyed, technically informed view of the cyber market, delivered by the people actively shaping it.
