In 2020, the global losses from cybercrime are estimated to have reached $1 trillion, more than 1% of global GDP. Cybersecurity risk is one of the top global concerns for firms and market participants (WEF, 2021). The European Systemic Risk Board recently characterized cyber security as a systemic risk to the European financial system (ESRB, 2020). But despite growing concerns from firms, insurers, investors and regulators, there is still a lack of data available on cyber-incidents, which limits the possibility to develop probabilistic pricing and proper risk measurement.  There is also limited coverage by cyber-insurance, and a need to develop micro and macro-prudential regulation.

This roundtable aims to discuss:

- How to evaluate the costs of cyber-incidents, model cyber-attacks and contagion mechanisms?
- How to organize cyber-monitoring?
- What impact of cyber-attacks on firms’ valuations and macro-financial developments?
- How to develop the cyber-insurance market?
- How to supervise cyber-risk in the financial sector?
