The international transport of goods, passengers and luggage is recently facing the threat of cyberattacks. The article is focused on the analysis of the possible cyber risks in the field of the international transport and their management created by the international governmental and non-governmental organisations. The international regulation of the cybersecurity has only recommendatory character and will be subject to future development. That’s the reason why should carriers pay greater attention to all possible cyber security measures. As the instrument of the reduction and mitigation of cyber risks could be used cyber-insurance. The insurance companies are offering insurance cover mainlyon individual base corresponding to the extent of protection required by the policyholder.
Summary
Currently, no internationally unified legal regulation of group insurance contracts and reinsurance contracts is available. As a result, a national legal regulation determined according to conflict-of-law rules is applied to both types of contracts in legal relations with an international element. The differences between national legal regulations could be overcome through the application of optional instruments, namely the Principles of the European Insurance Contract Law and the Principles of Reinsurance Contract Law.
