13 SUMMARY The digital development is changing the insurance environment as our customer s need for coverage of non-physical perils is gradually increasing. To address the demand If has developed currently three cyber products: One cyber product with a broad coverage including 1 st party loss such as business interruption, technical assistance, intellectual property, extortion and notification costs as well as 3 rd party liability. Two different cyber products, aiming at different sized companies, covering the clients business interruption loss and assisting the clients with relevant technical support. The digital changes have however also led to new exposures in our existing portfolio, primarily in our general liability portfolio and to some extend in the property portfolio. The development constitutes an opportunity to If, where our extensive knowledge about our clients, their risks and needs, is combined with an understanding of the global digital development. This leads not only to new products, but also to a re-evaluation the existing risks.
