Cyber-Ereignisdefinition: Die kritische Underwriting-Luecke 2026

Your Policy Says Cyber Event — But What Risk Does That Actually Expose?

Zusammenfassung

Most cyber insurance policies define ‘cyber event’ so broadly that the term becomes meaningless for underwriting. Here is why that one definition matters more than any exclusion clause.

Open any cyber insurance policy and you’ll find a definitions section. Near the top, usually in the first five terms, sits a phrase that silently determines whether a claim gets paid or denied:> “Cyber Event” — any actual or suspected unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification, or destruction of electronic data, or any actual or suspected disruption of electronic systems.
