When a single virus can wipe out computers worldwide in 24 hours, who picks up the pieces? Meena Wahi, Australia's first cyber insurance broker and founder of Cyber & Data Risk Managers, reveals how the cyber insurance landscape has evolved since 2013 - and where it's headed next. From the CrowdStrike outage that shocked boards worldwide to the fragmented nature of supply chain risk, Meena breaks down why cyber resilience isn't just a buzzword and how specialist insurers are winning the market share battle. She shares eye-opening insights from ASX 200 boardrooms, explains why Australian regulators might be too "benign," and predicts the convergence of cybersecurity and insurance. Whether you're a startup founder wondering if cyber insurance is worth it or a director trying to understand your organization's risk exposure, this conversation demystifies one of the fastest-evolving sectors in insurance. Host Nigel Fellowes-Freaman asks the questions everyone wants answered but few dare to ask.
