July 20, 2007.
Arlington, VA.

On July 20, 2007, the Critical Infrastructure Protection Program at the George Mason University School of Law held a workshop on cybersecurity and issues associated with liability. Those attending the invitation-only workshop were representatives of academia (law, economics and public policy), the US Congress, the federal government, think tanks and trade associations, and senior level executives of major insurance underwriters and reinsurance companies. A focus of the workshop was how the insurance and reinsurance industries measure and assess the cyber risks of firms seeking to mitigate their exposure to cyber-related losses.
