Ep. 11 - Underwriting Right Along The Cyber Insurance Market Continuum - with Nick Economidis

The cyber insurance market is a continuum.

Broadly distinguishing between the “insurable” and “uninsurable” is far too simplistic.

Rather, give insureds a little guidance to nudge them along the curve, and you can underwrite for everybody.

You’ll learn:

1. How to broaden your approach to underwriting to accommodate more classes

2. The top 4 risk controls insureds should have in place

3. Nick’s best practice approach to claims management

4. What metrics you should measure to help you underwrite successfully

5. Advice for starting a career in cyber insurance
