Jaguar cyber shock lays bare just-in-time fragility - and the insurance questions that follow
Grace. Space. Pace. And now? Chaos. Jaguar Land Rover's enforced hibernation is fast becoming the UK's defining cyber incident of the year. It has just been announced that lines at Solihull, Halewood and Wolverhampton remain idle until at least 24 September while the carmaker completes its forensic work. The pause, which began at the start of the month, has disrupted retailers and workshops and left suppliers scrambling for liquidity. For insurers and risk managers, it is a live-fire test of business interruption (BI) wordings, contingent supply-chain cover and cyber-cat aggregation risk across a high-dependency manufacturing ecosystem.
