Cyber-Insurance for Cyber-Physical Systems

Abstract

In this paper we review the emerging role of cyber insurance for Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) and discuss the obstacles, the needs, and the avenues forward. Specifically we focus on the unique characteristics and challenges that cyber-physical systems provide to the cyber-insurance industry (compared to classical information technology risks) and show how they change the incentives for security investments.
