报告摘要：

Modeling the multivariate dependence among cyber data breach risks presents a

significant challenge due to the sparsity and heavy tail properties exhibited by breach

events. In this talk, we introduce a novel ensemble learning approach that effectively

captures both the temporal and cross-sectional dependence inherent in cyber risks.

Our approach leverages bivariate copulas to generate predictive members, and the

resulting predictive distribution is carefully calibrated by minimizing the distribution

score. Moreover, we demonstrate the applicability of our proposed model in the

domain of insurance pricing. Through extensive simulations and analysis of real-

world data, our findings reveal that our approach outperforms existing methodologies

reported in the literature. The superior performance of our approach highlights its

potential to enhance risk assessment and insurance pricing practices related to cyber

data breaches.
