Growing Cyber Threat Demands a United Response
Until July 2, many cybersecurity experts knew little about Kaseya, a privately owned provider of IT management software services. That is the scariest thing about the hack of one of the firm’s software packages, which enabled thieves to encrypt the data of as many as 1,500 companies and demand $70 million in ransom to date. This cyberattack marks a fresh and dramatic escalation of the threat that ransomware poses to organizations around the world. It follows on the heels of recent hacks of a leading meat processor, a major provider of email services, and network management supplier SolarWinds. And importantly, it widens the threat aperture to small- and medium-sized companies — including a Swedish grocery chain that was forced to close — the main market for Kaseya’s software.

New Cyber Regulation May Significantly Impact the Digital Su
How exposed is your supply chain to cyber-attacks? Following recent compromises of both federal and private networks, regulators are asking this exact question. And recently, the federal government started responding with new mandates that will not only have immediate and direct impact on the sectors that they target, but will also likely spread a culture of compliance across all industries. New rules, regulations, and guidance are implemented to set new standards for defending against, responding to, and reporting cybersecurity incidents. Here we outline what helped drive the creation of certain regulations. While many of these regulations are aimed specifically at federal agencies, they also offer a preview of what the private sector may expect to see in the future. As always, organizations should regularly confer with their legal and regulatory counsel to monitor cybersecurity requirements and developments.

Sunk costs: the socioeconomic impacts of flooding
Flood risk is the most pervasive among natural disasters. Climate change and the increasing concentrations of population and assets in exposed areas are exacerbating the threat of flooding, and its human and economic costs are on the rise and greater than we realize.

Governments should take a strategic approach to close the protection gap, maximizing insurance penetration in a financially sustainable way, without incentivizing moral hazard or crowding out private insurers.
