Steven G. Stransky (Thompson Hine), David Finz (Alliant Financial Institutions) and Rick Yocum (TrustedSec LLC) recently published on Law 360 an article, “Anticipating Cyberinsurance Wartime Exclusion Questions,” which can be accessed in full here.
The article focuses on the “war” and “hostilities” exclusions within insurance policies and how they may apply to ransomware and other cyberattacks arising within the Russia-Ukraine war. Businesses should be undertaking several measures now to better prepare for potential incidents and claims, including analyzing how these exclusions apply to their specific policies and maintaining a comprehensive record of cyberattack warnings, threats and attributions made by government officials.
