Samenvatting
The early COVID crisis had brought Volatility Adjustment (VA) to the forefront for Dutch insurers, as a form of standardisation. We appreciate that Volatility Adjustment is a technical concept, which is why we have a dedicated team at Allianz Global Investors for our Dutch insurers to reach out to if you have any questions or would like to discuss this topic further. It remains even more relevant especially after COVID, highlighting the need for VA to address changes by EIOPA, valuations of assets based on Solvency II and more.

Samenvatting
Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting computers, mobile devices, and other digital assets from malicious attacks. Over the last few decades, cyberattacks have become an evolving danger to both organisations and individuals. The growth of technology has led to more interconnectedness of organisations’ systems as well as a greater individual online presence.
Cybercriminals are capitalising on this change as there are more opportunities to access or destroy sensitive data. As a result, effective cybersecurity is becoming a necessity for organisations of all types and sizes. 1
Key takeaways
- As more of our life goes digital, cybersecurity is becoming criticial to protect our data and assets.
- AI is ideally suited to solve some of the most harmful cyber threats, as this environment rapidly evolves.
- Governments and new legislation are expected to enforce a high priority on cybersecurity spending by corporations.
