-
Pay now for better security or later in deductibles and reputational damage from a breach. Beware the plaintiff’s bar.
-
3rd party audits are worth their weight in gold because everyone thinks they are perfect until they are told otherwise.
-
Excluding cyber breaches from the limitation of liabilities can be fatal for your company.
-
AI can be a great tool if used appropriately but increase liability if used unchecked or inappropriately.
-
Keep carriers and brokers on their toes, and go out to market.

[Second Session @4:00 PM]: Maintaining Cyber Resilience through a Multi-Disciplined Approach
Cyber incidents and data breaches continue occurring at an unprecedented rate across all industries, particularly within the financial services sector, which already surpasses nearly all other industries in demand for stringent security, regulatory compliance, and maintaining comprehensive risk management governance. The protection of customers and other sensitive data continues to be a top priority as successful attacks can often result in significant operational disruption, reputational damage, regulatory penalties, restrictions on business activities, and financial loss for the organization. With cyber threats continuing to evolve in scale and complexity, many organizations have been focusing on maturing Cyber Resilience Programs to provide a multi-disciplined approach for managing cyber risk through a combination of traditionally siloed activities.
3 Key Learning Objectives:
-
Emerging risks and trends we’re observing (particularly in the financial services industry)
-
Understanding of Cyber Resilience and the difference between traditional approaches to risk management.
-
How organizations can benefit from Cyber Resilience Programs compared to traditionally siloed risk management processes.
