This master thesis provides an actuarial analysis of cyber risk, a relatively new risk type that emerges from the use of technology. The first chapter gives a qualitative introduction to cyber risk and cyber insurance, showcasing the main singular characteristics of this risk and the challenges for insurers entering the cyber insurance market. The second part of this thesis consists of a discussion of the pros and cons regarding the use of different classical actuarial and economical models for cyber insurance. The methods introduced can be used for the prediction of cyber losses, and consequently insurance claims, or also for the calculation of cyber premiums. Finally, in the third chapter, a method based on Bayesian statistics and credibility theory is proposed for the inclusion of expert opinions in the models when data is scarce or there is uncertainty due to the dynamism of cyber risk.
