Welcome to our latest Insurance Recovery newsletter. We start with a closer look at cyber insurance—policies that cover cyber-related incidents such as data security breaches. The cyber insurance market is truly in flux, with insurers competing for market share by writing increasing numbers of policies, despite consistently poor underwriting, highly negotiable coverage terms and a rapidly evolving set of exposures. This provides either great opportunity or quicksand for risk managers and proves the importance of consulting with skilled counsel. This issue includes our top 10 list of tips for buying cyber insurance. We will also look at SEC’s cyber exposure disclosure guidance and how it impacts cyber insurance.

We also take a look at other issues Pillsbury’s insurance attorneys have worked on and matters of the moment, including insurance issues related to asbestos, construction and other topics.
