‍Cyber insurance is becoming increasingly important and necessary as cyber attacks become more sophisticated and frequent.

Contributing members of the open source project git deployed a code change in June 2022 that switched the default file compression method from the gzip program to an internal gzip-compatible implementation.

GitHub deployed the change and was also forced to quickly roll it back in January 2023.
