Why This Matters

Cyber risk is one of the fastest‑evolving exposures in the industry. Underwriters, brokers, claims professionals, and risk managers are increasingly expected to understand:

• What cyber controls actually do
• Which controls materially reduce risk
• How attackers operate
• How to evaluate cyber maturity
• How to interpret cyber applications and questionnaires

This page gives you a clear starting point — and a path to build cyber fluency one concept at a time.

A Familiar Reference Point

If you’ve ever watched a movie where the “invisible” digital activity turns out to be the real threat — Blackhat, Sneakers, The Bourne Ultimatum, The Matrix — you already understand the core idea behind cyber visibility.

Cyber isn’t about magic. It’s about seeing what’s happening behind the scenes.

Start with the two pages insurance professionals spend the most time on — then explore the Cyber in Plain English series to build confidence one concept at a time.
