Brexit Part 1 - What about the Data

So it happened, we left, we voted and now we’re out. Some of us were very angry, some very happy and a great many confused.   We’ve all heard about the possible impact on immigration, the economy and even the Lloyds Market, however what about the impact on some the other niche and emerging markets? In this series of blogs I will be looking into the impact of Brexit on some of the lesser discussed business sectors, this week Cyber Insurance. Cyber Insurance. When our children look back at 2016, they are unlikely to look back at the year with any fondness. The high profile deaths, political upheaval and worldwide humanitarian catastrophes have left the globe in state of unhealthy imbalance.   Brexit has stripped the shroud of democracy back and unveiled the bitter political divide of a developed but stagnant nation to the world.

HOW DRIVERLESS CARS WILL CHANGE INSURANCE

Did you know that motor insurance makes up roughly one third of the total global insurance premiums taken by insurers? Did you know that driverless cars are due to bring accident rates on the worlds roads down by 99% ? (If countries and road systems were to fully implement driverless vehicles). The vehicles will be on the streets of our towns and cities sooner rather than later, the only thing stopping them is legislation, the technology is ready. Therefore basic mathematics points towards the insurance market taking a huge hit in the coming years. There isn't a glowing silver lining either, the claims that will likely occur involving driverless vehicles will be system related, 3rd party hacking or breakdown, usually low frequency events but high pay out, meaning prediction and pricing will be wayward for at least the first 3 years. While this may mean (in a fair world) super low insurance premiums for driverless car owners, what happens to those of us stu...

TESCO BANK ATTACK: THE FIRST PUBLIC BANK HACK?

High profile hacks have happened before, we've all read about Talk Talk, Ashley Madison and Sony. We all know the words on every business leaders lips are currently Cyber, Data protection and Ranson-ware. So why is the Tesco hack any different? Why should we take notice of this attack more than any of the above incidents? Quite simply becuase this is the  first time that a UK bank has reacted so publicly by stopping some types of transactions on a web banking system because of "online criminal activity". Banks are targeted all the time but typically those attacks just hit a few individuals, so do not bring about a site closure. In this case, as far as we can tell, a lot of people lost cash very quickly. You've probably read about the Natwest bank errors that lead to the public being unable to withdraw cash or pay direct debits, this is well known to insiders as an organised international hack attempt on the Natwest servers, easier to simply turn off the ...
