Cyber risk remains a critical concern for businesses, requiring a sophisticated actuarial analysis to project potential losses and financial exposures. As cyber threats continue to evolve, actuarial insights into loss projections and risk management strategies are essential. Understanding the financial impact of cyber incidents helps businesses optimize their retention levels, enhance insurance strategies, and consider alternative risk financing options.

SIGMA actuaries recently created a sample actuarial report for cyber risk losses, aiming to give a glimpse into what to expect when this type of report is conducted. If your client is currently assessing their cyber risk exposure, this resource is a great way to prepare to navigate this complex and ever-changing risk landscape. To view our latest sample analysis, login to our complimentary RISK66 educational library, or you can sign up.

To further support businesses in analyzing cyber risk financing strategies, SIGMA offers a Cyber Assessment Tool. Through a series of drop-down questions, the assessment analyzes whether a client could potentially benefit from cyber analytics. As a supplement to this resource, we recommend reviewing our one-page PDF on how to analyze cyber risk for risk financing strategies. In it, data requirements are reviewed, a summary of the analytical process is outlined, and expectations for the final analysis are given. We encourage you to check out these resources, as well as the other tools in our complimentary RISK66 educational library.

As always, SIGMA is available to discuss solutions to challenges unique to a particular company or industry. Schedule a call today with one of our consulting actuaries.
