Thursday, March 5 | 1:15 PM–2:15 PM

In this highly interactive session, cyber insurance coverage lawyers square off to debate what happens when first-party losses become third-party claims, building off the New Mexico intermediate appellate court’s June 2025 ruling in Kane v.

The fact pattern and the ruling highlight the uniqueness of cyber policies and the benefits and challenges associated with the treatment of different types of overlapping risks.

Plenary - How Much Is One Picture Worth?: Visual and Data-Driven Tools for Clarifying Coverage and Illuminating Claims
Saturday, March 7 | 10:45 AM–11:45 AM

Coverage claims often involve dense, even arcane, policy language coupled with complex facts and damage models that can confuse even experienced stakeholders. Common presentation approaches—foggy, formulaic text, lengthy string cites, and walls of numbers with no focus—often cloud the picture rather than sharpen it. This panel offers an effective alternative: visual communication and data-driven tools that demystify claims and map coverage exposures in a compelling and accessible way. 

Panelists: 

• Diana Kantner, KCIC
• Philip R. Matthews, Duane Morris LLP
• Donald Scaramastra, Miller Nash LLP
• Peter H. Woodin, Esq., JAMS
