CPE Presentations

Setting the Record Straight on Cyber Insurance
Presented by Lisa Phillips, Senior VPO

As cyber threats evolve and become more economically damaging to businesses, the cyber insurance market remains adaptive in responding to buyers’ needs. Many organizations still expect — mistakenly — that cyber losses will be fully covered under non-cyber (property, casualty, or crime) policies.  However, traditional insurance lines have actually been retreating from covering cyber events, so cyber insurance is becoming an increasingly vital tool.  Presentation will cover the common coverages included in a cyber policy and recent claims trends in the cyber insurance market.
