#4 - How Insurers Assess Cyber Risk in the AI Era

11min | 07/29/2026

Description

Generative AI hasn't fundamentally changed cyber threats — it has changed their velocity. Virginie Lecat, Senior Cyber Risk Advisor at AXA XL, explains how AI empowers both attackers and defenders: hyper-realistic phishing, AI-boosted reconnaissance, but also smarter threat detection and awareness programmes. Recorded at VivaTech 2026.

Discover how AXA XL assesses cyber maturity with the NIST framework, builds tailored cyber risk scores, and goes beyond insurance with a prevent-prepare-protect-prevail services ecosystem — because in cyber, it's not a question of if, but when.
