On Tuesday, January 23, Lloyd's of London and AIR Worldwide
co-published a report regarding the financial fallout that could
occur if a cyber incident or shutdown of a cloud computing provider
happened in the United States. The report noted that losses could
be around $19 billion with only about $3 billion being covered by
insurance.1 The report also reveals that
"[g]iven the state of the cyber insurance industry today, a
cyber incident that takes a top three cloud provider offline in the
US for 3-6 days would result in ground-up loss central estimates
between $6.9 and $14.7 billion and between $1.5 and $2.8 billion in
industry insured losses."2 To read more on
