Cyber insurance is slowly gearing up in Europe. In fact, companies are starting to offer more policies to cover losses from hacking incidents, according to data published by the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA).

In September 2017, the Commission proposed a new certification programme that will identify the security level of different technology products.

As a result of this proposal, will the Commission propose specific criteria for the kind of damage that should be covered by insurance providers in case of cyber‐attacks?
