UK Government's Support for JLR: The UK government has provided a £1.5 billion loan guarantee to Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) following a significant cyberattack, highlighting the importance of protecting jobs but raising concerns about the message it sends regarding cyber insurance.
Implications for Cyber Insurance: The lack of punitive conditions attached to the support may encourage other companies to view cyber insurance as optional, especially since a significant portion of large businesses in the UK do not have such coverage, potentially increasing their vulnerability to cyber threats.
