BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Paraic Joyce, insurance partner at PwC, said that insurers are struggling to understand cyber risk, frequency of attacks and what should be covered under insurance policies. Mr. Joyce said that cyber cover currently protects against the immediate losses related to an attack but does not cover the consequences of data breach such as people's grievances.
