Abstract: The area of digital technologies is currently the subject of many cyber threats, the frequency of which is increasing. One of the areas of cyber security is also the creation of models and estimates of the process of cyber threats and their possible financial impacts. However, some studies show that cyber-threat assessment to identify potential financial impacts for organizations is a very challenging process. A relatively large problem here is the detection of scenarios of cyber threats and their expression in time. This paper focuses on the design of an algorithm that can be applied to the field of cyber-threat assessment in order to express the financial impacts. The study is based on an in-depth analysis of the insurance industry. The results obtained in our research show the importance of the time perspective for determining the potential financial impacts of cyber threats for the field of insurance.
