Böhme to Take on Cyber Risk Task Force Project

Professor Rainer Böhme of the University of Innsbruck will lead the CAS Cyber Risk Task Force research project titled, “A Fundamental Approach to Cyber Risk Analysis and the Research Agenda for Cyber Insurance.” Dr. Böhme is an IT and cybersecurity expert with a strong statistical background and is the author of a number of publications on cyber insurance and financial consequences of cyber risk.

The final research project will provide an overview of the existing research most relevant to the analysis of cyber risk for cyber insurance. It will propose a general approach and methodology for cyber insurance modeling and build on the previous research by Dr. Böhme and the latest developments in cyber insurance and cyber risk modeling research. The report is scheduled to be released later in 2015.
