How Cyber Model Vendors See Their Role in Closing the Cyber Insurance Protection Gap

Abstract: The developers of models for quantifying systemic cyber risk for the re/insurance industry have had little opportunity for their voice to be heard. Instead, the historical literature largely dismisses the sector as immature, inaccurate, and not up to the task of facilitating cyber re/insurance risk transfer. This characterization of the cyber modeling community may be true, but little evidence has been offered in support of such views. Further, no credible scholarly analysis of the effectiveness of cyber vendor models has been conducted. This article offers a first step in what hopefully can become a much richer and robust line of inquiry across the cyber re/insurance academic community. Consisting of qualitative research with cyber modeling vendor employees, this article offers a baseline view of how the modeling sector sees itself and its work with regard to the broader cyber re/insurance community. No such study of the model vendors themselves has been conducted. This article provides an opportunity for the modelers to say their piece in a sector that has largely overlooked their contributions.
