Description
Cybersecurity insurance is a very important defense against data breaches, cyberattacks, and AI-powered system failures. As the use of AI becomes more widespread in business operations, insurers are now assessing emerging risks such as algorithmic errors, adversarial attacks, and data manipulation. As the cybersecurity insurance industry grows, organizations need to implement AI-specific safeguards to mitigate vulnerabilities. This study uses a mixed methods approach, by incorporating qualitative case studies for the integration of AI in claims processing with quantitative analysis on AI-driven risk assessment models. The method will be based on surveys, expert interviews, and real insurance claim analysis. Important goals involve the improvement of assessments of risk, underwriting, and claims processing through AI. Case studies of AI-enabled threat detection tools, including Darktrace, Microsoft Sentinel, and Google's phishing detection, demonstrate the AI impact in cybersecurity. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
