A framework for incorporating insurance in critical infrastructure cyber risk strategies

摘要

Smart critical infrastructure owners and operators are always looking for ways to minimize cyber risk while keeping a lid on cyber security expenditures.

To achieve these goals, insurers continuously gather and analyze statistical data to improve their predictions, incentivize client investments in self-protection and periodically refine their models to improve the accuracy of risk estimates.
