They compare several risk transfer options, including insurance, reinsurance and alternative risk transfer. Moreover, they discuss the potential role of the government and the capacity of insurance pools to improve insurability.

By providing an overview of the main areas of research and the key studies conducted in the field to date, and by making some initial recommendations about the potential role of insurers and governments in addressing cyber risks, this report lays the groundwork for discussion and future research on the development of the cyber risk and the cyber insurance market.
