Security Risk Models for Cyber Insurance
Tackling the cybersecurity challenge is a matter of survival for society at large.Cyber attacks are rapidly increasing in sophistication and magnitude—and in their destructive potential.New threats emerge regularly, the last few years having seen a ransomware boom and distributed denial-of-service attacks leveraging the Internet of Things.For organisations, the use of cybersecurity risk management is essential in order to manage these threats.Yet current frameworks have drawbacks which can lead to the suboptimal allocation of cybersecurity resources.Cyber insurance has been touted as part of the solution – based on the idea that insurers can incentivize companies to improve their cybersecurity by offering premium discounts – but cyber insurance levels remain limited.This is because companies have difficulty determining which cyber insurance products to purchase, and insurance companies struggle to accurately assess cyber risk and thus develop cyber insurance products.To deal with these challenges, this volume presents new models for cybersecurity risk management, partly based on the use of cyber insurance.It contains: A set of mathematical models for cybersecurity risk management, including (i) a model to assist companies in determining their optimal budget allocation between security products and cyber insurance and (ii) a model to assist insurers in designing cyber insurance products. The models use adversarial risk analysis to account for the behavior of threat actors (as well as the behavior of companies and insurers). To inform these models, we draw on psychological and behavioural economics studies of decision-making by individuals regarding cybersecurity and cyber insurance. We also draw on organizational decision-making studies involving cybersecurity and cyber insurance.Its theoretical and methodological findings will appeal to researchers across a wide range of cybersecurity-related disciplines including risk and decision analysis, analytics, technology management, actuarial sciences, behavioural sciences, and economics.The practical findings will help cybersecurity professionals and insurers enhance cybersecurity and cyber insurance, thus benefiting society as a whole. This book grew out of a two-year European Union-funded project under Horizons 2020, called CYBECO (Supporting Cyber Insurance from a Behavioral Choice Perspective).

Insurance Era : Risk, Governance, and the Privatization of Security in Postwar America
Charts the social and cultural life of private insurance in postwar America, showing how insurance institutions and actuarial practices played crucial roles in bringing social, political, and economic neoliberalism into everyday life. Actuarial thinking is everywhere in contemporary America, an often unnoticed byproduct of the postwar insurance industry’s political and economic influence.Calculations of risk permeate our institutions, influencing how we understand and manage crime, education, medicine, finance, and other social issues.Caley Horan’s remarkable book charts the social and economic power of private insurers since 1945, arguing that these institutions’ actuarial practices played a crucial and unexplored role in insinuating the social, political, and economic frameworks of neoliberalism into everyday life. Analyzing insurance marketing, consumption, investment, and regulation, Horan asserts that postwar America’s obsession with safety and security fueled the exponential expansion of the insurance industry and the growing importance of risk management in other fields.Horan shows that the rise and dissemination of neoliberal values did not happen on its own: they were the result of a project to unsocialize risk, shrinking the state’s commitment to providing support, and heaping burdens upon the people often least capable of bearing them.Insurance Era is a sharply researched and fiercely written account of how and why private insurance and its actuarial market logic came to be so deeply lodged in American visions of social welfare.

Why should one worry about retirement if it is paid through basic security?
One should still worry about retirement even if it is paid through basic security because the amount provided by basic security may not be enough to maintain the same standard of living one had before retirement. Additionally, unexpected expenses or medical costs may not be fully covered by basic security. Planning for retirement allows individuals to save and invest in additional sources of income, such as a retirement savings account or pension, to ensure a comfortable and secure retirement. It also provides a sense of financial security and peace of mind for the future.

Do you have security in life if you cannot rely on future retirement benefits?
Having security in life without being able to rely on future retirement benefits can be challenging. Without a guaranteed source of income in retirement, individuals may need to save more during their working years to ensure financial stability later in life. It may also require exploring alternative options such as investing in other assets or creating multiple streams of income to provide a sense of security in the absence of traditional retirement benefits. Ultimately, having a solid financial plan and being proactive in managing one's finances can help create a sense of security even without relying on future retirement benefits.

It requires thoughtful consideration of the potential risks and benefits of security measures, as well as a commitment to upholding fundamental human rights and freedoms.
