Gavin deals in Cyber Risk Capital Management & Risk Transfer: Bringing expertise in identifying, quantifying, & economically reducing cyber risk to protect balance sheets

Gavin unpacks the rapidly evolving landscape of cyber risk, offering insights into how businesses can better assess and manage their exposure. He explains Axio’s innovative approach, which bridges the gap between understanding enterprise-level cyber balance sheet risks and equipping insurers to tackle the growing threat of cyber-related physical damage.

Key themes include:

• The distinction between traditional cyber liability insurance and emerging cyber physical risks, which pose critical challenges for sectors like energy, manufacturing, and finance.
• The cascading effects of unmanaged cyber risk on project finance, lending practices, and board-level accountability.
• How closing the protection gap can foster a more resilient investment market.

Quotable Moment from Gavin Lillywhite:
"The confusion between cyber liability and cyber physical damage often leaves critical risks unaddressed. It’s not about fear; it’s about building resilience and eliminating the protection gap."
