It has been reported that only one-quarter of U.S. businesses have cybersecurity insurance, even though probably a majority of companies have experienced cybersecurity breaches. Insurance companies have not fully worked out attractive configurations and prices for relevant insurance policies. Mr. Eisenberg intends to research, write and speak about how U.S. businesses might develop reasonable, flexible and effective cybersecurity policies and practices that, along with complying with legal/regulatory mandates, will miminize, or at least make more predictable, cybersecurity risks, and will help insurance companies provide widespread, comprehensive coverage for these risks.
