WiCyS San Diego Affiliate | Cyber Speaker Series - Cybersecurity Insurance: What You Need to Know
2026-05-23 14:00 - 17:00 UTC | La Jolla/Riford Public Library, 7555 Draper Avenue, San Diego, CA, 92037, United States
Join the WiCyS San Diego Affiliate for a presentation by Kevin Rigney, who will cover the industry’s history, the coverage options available for today’s complex extended-tech enterprises, and the considerations that may matter most before and during an incident.
Cyber insurance used to be a safety net; today, it’s a stress test of whether your organization actually understands its own risk. Underwriters are no longer just selling policies; they’re interrogating your controls, your identity architecture, your incident response muscle, even your board-level accountability. And here’s the uncomfortable truth: the gap between what companies think they’re protected against and what policies will actually cover in a modern ransomware or AI-enabled attack is widening fast. In this environment, cyber insurance isn’t a backstop; it’s a forcing function that exposes weak assumptions, rewards operational discipline, and redefines what “insurable” security really means. From the days of 3-question surveys, insurer and umbrella insurance coverage for cyber, to on-site interviews, actuarial analyses by industry, policy premium coverage options/deductibles, and heavily scrutinized claims, the cyber insurance industry has expanded exponentially over the last 20 years.
