More than 50 experts in the cyber-risk and cyber re/insurance field are to feature at the 2022 Bermuda Cyber Risk Summit to be held November 16-17.

The conference, presented by NetDiligence — the cyber assessment and data breach services company — will take place at the Hamilton Princess and Beach Club.

Organisers said attendees will travel from the United States, United Kingdom, European Union and Canada to join the Bermudian re/insurance community for two days of programming and conversation.

Heather Osborne, NetDiligence director of global events and programming, said: "We are delighted to be returning to Hamilton after several years of reduced travel. The Bermuda market is a crucial partner in worldwide efforts to stem losses from cybercrime and to keep insurers in the cyber insurance space healthy and profitable."

The programme is sponsored by the Bermuda Business Development Agency and the Association of Bermuda Insurers and Reinsurers, as well as more than 25 insurance carriers/brokers, forensics/IR companies, and breach response firms.

Programming begins at 9am on November 17, with a fireside chat featuring David Burt, the Premier, and moderated by Susan Pateras, of the BDA.

Thereafter, panels include: State of the Market: Focus on the Large Enterprise; Reinsurance & Retro; Security Threats and Trends; ILS and Solving the Capacity Problem; Blockchain, Crypto and Digital Assets; The Crux of Cyber Loss Occurrence Definitions; Pre-Loss Partnership on Cyber BI: Improving Communication and Reducing Disputes; The Underwriting Revolution of Cyber and Analytics; Global Update on Privacy Laws, Regulatory Considerations and Oversight; and Just Around the Corner: The Near Future Cyber Landscape.
