Heightened awareness of cyber security and the need to identify vulnerable assets makes Cyber Risks Insurance an invaluable reference. This new title is a comprehensive text clarifying the law and practice of cyber insurance. Written in an accessible and practical style designed to help you find answers quickly, it adopts a UK perspective with additional comparative analysis of the most significant cases in the USA. Complete with sample clauses from leading industry organisations including the Lloyd’s Market Association and International Underwriting Association, this is your definitive guide to understanding the law of cyber risks insurance.


The following extract is taken from the Foreword:

“The book sets about examining, with reference to authority from both sides of the Atlantic, the nature of the legal issues likely to be thrown up. It does this against a well-informed examination of the forms of wording and practices found in the insurance and reinsurance market. This examination and the greater awareness which it will help generate are important. A veil of ignorance is desirable for decision-makers, but a cloud of ignorance, or ignorance about the cloud, is not desirable for those involved with cyber risks. Celso de Azevedo’s work therefore comes at an opportune time.”

- Lord Mance, former Deputy President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom

REVIEWS

“There is need for the sort of work undertaken by Mr de Azevedo in his excellent book, which draws on US cases for some insight into the issues that can arise and looks both at analogous English cases and underwriting practice. This is a rapidly developing and important market… the author should be congratulated for embarking on this work and for pioneering this sub-species of insurance law.”  (Philip Rawlings, Computer & Telecommunications Law Review)

“A veil of ignorance is desirable for decision-makers, but a cloud of ignorance, or ignorance about the cloud, is not desirable for those involved with cyber risks. Celso de Azevedo’s work therefore comes at an opportune time.”  
(Lord Mance, Foreword)
 
“The reviewer will certainly feel more confident about working his way through a cyber risk policy and highlighting to clients areas to watch out for and the likely limitations of such policies as a result of reading this accessible yet authoritative book.”  (Simon Stokes, Journal of Business Law)

“The author is to be commended for making a significant contribution to a still evolving subject-matter…and for assembling the existing market developments into a coherent exposition.”  (Dr Franziska Arnold-Dwyer, BILA Journal)
