Jonathan Meer (Partner-New York, NY) is quoted in the article “Iran War Raises War Exclusion Fears for Cyber Coverage” appearing in the March 26, 2026, edition of Law360’s Insurance Authority. The article focuses on the growing importance – and uncertainty –surrounding the “war exclusion” in cyber policies, particularly as insurers and policyholders grapple with how to determine coverage applicability in an increasingly complex threat landscape that now includes the war with Iran. Jonathan provides insight from the insurer's perspective, emphasizing the difficulty of attributing cyberattacks to nation-state actors and the challenges this poses for applying war exclusions. He notes that this ambiguity may limit insurers’ ability to deny coverage outright, explaining, “It’s a difficult, blurred line between what is a nation-state-supported threat actor or not… The answer could be that the insurer can’t take the hardest line and deny coverage.” The article further highlights the heightened risk to critical infrastructure sectors and the need for both insurers and policyholders to stay vigilant as cyber threats evolve alongside geopolitical tensions, Jonathan opining, “I think everyone needs to be aware that sometimes what happens on the news can hit closer to home, and everyone has to be ready for that reality.”
