Who Pays After The Hack? Emerging Paths For Cyber Recovery

Recent court decisions reveal a developing area of cyber insurance subrogation where insurers can potentially recover losses from vendors, financial institutions, and service providers who failed to meet specific cybersecurity obligations.
