Surge in Cyberattacks Challenges Adequacy of Insurance Coverage in India
A recent surge in cyberattacks targeting Indian organizations such as State Bank of India, Central Bank of India, Bharat Electronics, and numerous NBFCs has led to a significant increase in cyber insurance claims. Insurers face potential losses amounting to thousands of crores, prompting businesses to enhance their cyber insurance coverage. However, these incidents have sparked debate over whether current policies sufficiently cover emerging threats, including vulnerabilities in widely used software and attacks involving artificial intelligence, raising questions about liability when widespread vulnerabilities affect multiple organizations.
