The gap between technical risk and executive decision-making in cyber insurance
The situation this course is for
Cyber insurance solutions often rely on generic frameworks, leaving underwriters and clients without precise, technical validation of application-layer risks. This leads to mispriced policies, escalated claims, and reactive reporting when regulators call.
Who this is for
Senior cyber insurance leaders who operationalize technical risk frameworks for global clients and regulators
Who this is not for
Junior analysts, generalist brokers, or practitioners not involved in technical risk assessment or client-specific cyber solution design
What you walk away with
- Own OWASP-based risk assessments embedded in client proposals and renewals
- Lead regulator-facing reviews with documented application security benchmarks
- Become the internal escalation point for M&A cyber due diligence requiring OWASP input
- Deliver repeatable, analytics-backed client reports grounded in OWASP Top 10 controls
- Build a go-to reference playbook that peers and underwriting teams defer to

If nothing changes
Without structured OWASP integration, cyber insurance decisions rely on incomplete risk signals, increasing exposure to mispriced policies, regulatory scrutiny, and internal escalations without clear ownership.
How this compares to the alternatives
Unlike generic OWASP training, this course is built specifically for global cyber insurance leaders who need to own technical handoffs, not just understand the framework. It includes direct application to M&A, regulator reviews, and peer escalations , capabilities others treat as 'advanced' but you need now.
Frequently asked
