Tackling AI-Driven Cybercrime Threats: AXA XL’s New Insurance Coverage Explained

Posted on October 21, 2024October 21, 2024 By Martin Hinton

As cyber criminals increasingly leverage AI for everything from phishing scams and blackmail to misinformation campaigns and election interference, businesses face new threats that require innovative defenses. In response to AI-driven cybercrime threats, AXA XL has unveiled a new endorsement to its cyber insurance coverage, specifically targeting the risks associated with Generative AI (Gen AI) model development. Available globally, this coverage aims to help businesses navigate the complex landscape of emerging AI threats while protecting themselves from costly liabilities.

Michael Colao, AXA XL’s Global Chief Underwriting Officer, Cyber, noted that while companies are using Gen AI to boost efficiency and improve customer experience, they must also account for potential risks. These risks include data poisoning, where attackers compromise AI models by introducing false data into the training process, and usage rights infringement, where businesses may face legal consequences for failing to secure the proper permissions for intellectual property used in AI development. Additionally, regulatory violations under the European Union’s AI Act may expose companies to liabilities for non-compliance.

“Clear Coverage”

“Our clients sought help navigating this uncharted territory,” Colao said. “With our brokers’ input and feedback, we’re pleased to develop an innovative, market-leading insurance solution to provide clear coverage for these risks and help them leverage Gen AI without the worry of potential risks and extra costs that could hinder their efforts.”

The new coverage is available as an endorsement to AXA XL’s CyberRiskConnect policy, extending to regions such as the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Europe, and Asia. AXA XL continues to offer a comprehensive suite of cyber insurance products, including coverage for cyber incident investigations, financial liabilities, and risk management services aimed at strengthening businesses’ cybersecurity defenses.

In the wake of the Harrods hack and cyberattacks impacting other retailers, the alarming state of UK cybersecurity will be revealed in 2024. From cyberattacks hitting major UK retailers like Co-op and Harrods to small businesses struggling without protection, the message is clear—cybercrime is a national threat.

New research by Pen Underwriting reveals that while 90% of UK and Irish businesses feel secure, only 47% have dedicated cyber insurance. Even more shocking—only 18% of businesses earning under £1 million are covered. The cost isn’t just financial—real people suffer, like the couple who lost their wedding cake due to a ransomware attack.

Watch now to understand:

Why UK businesses are dangerously unprepared

How cyberattacks are more common than fires or theft

The key role of employee training, data backups, and multi-factor authentication (MFA)

Why cyber insurance is no longer optional
