The emergence of cyber insurance has created a thriving, interdisciplinary community of scholars spanning finance, computer science, law, business, economics, public policy, international relations, and more. The Geneva Association is pleased to announce a special October 2026 issue of The Geneva Papers on Risk and Insurance on Cyber Risks and Insurance.

We encourage scholars from all disciplines to submit contributions related to topics including, but not limited to:

Could insurance-linked securities (ILS) help close the cyber protection gap? Our recent report explores how a more robust cyber ILS market could expand insurers’ appetites and abilities to take on extreme cyber risks, and what is needed to catalyse growth in this space.
