Aon and Guidewire Launch Cyber Scenario for a U.S. Dam Attack - Seite 2

Matt Honea, Director of Cyber at Guidewire, added: “We face a huge challenge today, securing not only all laptops and phones, but all network connected devices. These connected devices are automating human tasks by powering more equipment and processing systems. We bring focus to these dam scenarios to highlight concrete examples of an extreme cyber event.”

The scenario is further outlined in the report ‘Silent Cyber Scenario: Opening the Flood Gates’ which is the latest in Aon’s Global Insurance Market Opportunities series.

Notes to editors

Since its first edition in September 2015, the Global Insurance Market Opportunities (GIMO) report has quickly become a leading thought leadership study and reference document for the re/insurance industry. In 2018, Aon is taking a new approach to its distribution, by publishing articles throughout the year rather than launching a single, comprehensive report. This approach aims to increase utilization of the content, bring ideas to market as fast as possible to support further development with re/insurance client partners, and make it easier for GIMO readers to digest the wealth of information generated annually. The series of GIMO articles is available at https://aon.io/gimo-laux
