The “internet of things” or “IoT” may be the defining technology buzzword of our age. Certainly just about every technologist is busy explaining how the IoT will revolutionise the ways in which businesses work and societies function.
Yet, as IoT systems and devices proliferate, so do the security implications. While many benefits of the IoT can only be realised by expanding the ecosystem of interconnected IoT devices, this can also be one of its greatest flaws; networks are only secure as their weakest link.
Many readers will already be familiar with some of the more famous examples of IoT vulnerability, such as the demonstration at the 2015 Black Hat of taking control (remotely) of a Jeep Cherokee travelling at over 110kph or the recent incident when IoT-connected CCTV video cameras and DVR players were used to facilitate one of the largest internet denial of service attacks in history. However, despite the high level of awareness of these security issues, industry is yet to take a coordinated approach to dealing with these matters.

During the last years, the number of Chinese outbound transactions to Germany have increased considerably and reached a record high in 2016. M&A transactions are quite complex processes, presenting a wide range of potential pitfalls for both buyers and sellers. Often, Chinese investors are not familiar with the particularities of the European market. Against this backdrop, the need to mitigate transactional risk is increasing in particular for Chinese investors.
The use of Warranty & Indemnity (W&I) insurance, has become commonplace in the US and European M&A markets over the last years. Whilst the product is less well-known in the Chinese market, the gap is starting to close and a leading W&I insurer has already established a Chinese desk in Germany to meet the special needs of Chinese clients. With SASAC having emphasized the importance of risk insurance in the context of outbound investments for SOEs in their regulation of 7 January 2017, we expect the importance of W&I insurance for Chinese outbound M&A to further increase.

近几年，中国对德国的投资大幅度增长，在2016年达到历史新高。并购交易过程复杂，买方和卖方都会面对许多陷阱。通常，中国投资者不熟悉欧洲市场的特点。这种情况下，中国投资者尤其需要降低交易风险。
近年来，美国和欧洲并购市场已普遍开始使用并购保证与赔偿保险。虽然这类保险产品在中国市场的知名度不高，但情况正在发生变化，一家领先的提供并购保证与赔偿保险的保险公司已经在德国设立了中国客户部，以满足中国客户的特殊需求。国资委在2017年1月7日出台了有关国企对外投资的新规，强调保险的重要性，我们预期并购保证与赔偿保险对中国的对外并购将越来越重要。
