Criticism of insurers for reimbursing ransom payments is discussed in the latest Insurance News podcast.

As previously reported, pressure is ramping up on the industry, which stands accused of making the problem worse by making it easier for clients to pay criminals. Cyber specialists argue that it's not that simple and having insurance cover and access to expert advice actually makes it less likely that a client will decide to pay a ransom.

This week’s edition of INsight, hosted by Insurance News Managing Director Andrew Silcox, features the observations of Insurance News Managing Editor John Deex and Deputy Editor Wendy Pugh.

Also covered are the ICA's recent annual forum, its code of practice ad campaign, and the impact of COVID on workers' compensation claims as lockdowns end.
