2018 SIR Annual Conference and Exhibit Fair

Attendees will be amazed at what a class of 20 MBA students—wholly unfamiliar with the insurance industry—could achieve in a matter of eight weeks. Pairs of students developed purpose and scope statements for their term research project analyzing the cyber risk insurance marketplace, conducting secondary and primary research, applying different CI analytic techniques (e.g., SERVO, McKinsey7S, Linchpin, Value chain), and profiling cyber risk insurers (including business model). Students compiled a great set of resources, commenting on the tools that were most helpful in completing their assignments. Keiser will present the results of student discoveries about this industry segment and the allied cybersecurity industry firms often partnering with insurance companies to provide risk assessments, innovations in detection, remediation, and corporate response.
