Career
Haase developed the first cyber insurance policy, after several years of discussing the new risks faced by companies in the internet age.[10][11][12][13] His presentation of the launch of the first cyber insurance product, including first and third party coverages, at an April 1997 International Risk Insurance Management Society convention is considered a key turning point in the field's history,[14] as it resulted in the creation of the first policy designed to focus on the risks of internet commerce, the Internet Security Liability (ISL) policy, developed by Haase and underwritten by AIG. The early meeting between Haase and 20 industry colleagues in Hawaii is known today as the “Breach on the Beach.” [15][16][17][18]
