Following on from the release of the GAO report on the challenges cyber insurance policy holders face earlier this month. Whilst central to government policy Congressman Jim Langevin, a co-chair of the Cybersecurity Solarium Commission makes the point that during a recent NexGov event ¢â‚¬Å“[If] company A is investing heavily in cybersecurity¢â‚¬â€again based on data,‚ say from a bureau of cyber statistics¢â‚¬â€then you know they would have hopefully, I believe it would be a much lower premium for their their cybersecurity protection, and company B who chooses not to invest in those cybersecurity technologies and protocols, then they would have a much higher premium, and that would be a market driver to help more to be done, and driving companies to do more on cybersecurity,¢â‚¬Â

The current TRIA program does not provide adequate support in the event of a cyber attack, with the potential impact being significantly greater than the fund provides. Should US taxpayers be the insurer of last resort, ahead of companies implementing adequate cyber controls?
