Cyber catastrophe bond keynote & panel - Artemis London 2022 Session 4

Episode 111,   Oct 26, 2022, 11:00 AM

This session from our Artemis London 2022 conference in September features a keynote speech on the readiness of cyber risk models for catastrophe bonds and then a panel discussion on the potential for cyber cat bonds.

This was the fourth session of the day from our Artemis London 2022 conference, held on September 6th, 2022.

The event was Artemis' first insurance-linked securities (ILS) conference held in the City of London and saw more than 240 attendees enjoy a wide-range of sessions and networking opportunities.

Themed largely around the catastrophe bond, attendees heard from expert speakers that have been in the sector for years, as well as newcomers with ideas of how to innovate the cat bond and ILS market going forwards.

Attendees came from as far afield as New Zealand, Hawaii, Asia, North and South America, Bermuda, as well as a large European contingent, plus as you’d expect numerous London marketplace leaders in ILS and reinsurance.

This fourth session from the event begins with a keynote speech on "The readiness of cyber modelling for catastrophe bonds", from Matt Harrison, Director of Product Management - Cyber, at RMS.

After the keynote speech, this session moves straight into a panel discussion on "The potential for cyber cat bonds", moderated by Quentin Perrot, Managing Director, ILS Origination and Structuring, GC Securities.

Panellists participating in this cyber cat bond discussion were: Tom Johansmeyer, Head of PCS, Verisk; Matt Harrison - Director of Product Management - Cyber, RMS; and Raphael Rayees, PM, Traded ILS, Lead PM, Securis Catastrophe Bond Fund, Securis Investment Partners.

The group followed on from the keynote speech, discussing how models have evolved for cyber risks, what other prerequisites there are for the development of cyber catastrophe bonds, structural considerations that need to be taken into account, and importantly the investor appetite for a cyber cat bond.
