Cyber 2.0: Navigating Cyber Risk Management In A New Age
2023-08-10 13:00 - 14:00 | Online
The cyber risk management ecosystem has evolved significantly over the past few years. The exponential rise in cyber attacks of all kinds has impacted
organizations across industry sectors and given rise to massive operational and financial losses to business enterprises and public entities.
In addition, the cyber insurance market has seen an unprecedented rise in the frequency, breadth and depth of cyber claims. The resulting
impact has been categorized by a general hardening of the market where underwriters are applying a higher order of scrutiny on potential insureds, with a
heavy emphasis on the cybersecurity controls that matter most in the prevention, detection, response and recovery from cyber attacks.
Alliant Cyber believes that aligning the identification, analysis and management of critical cyber threats, risk, security and controls will be critical for organizations seeking to navigate the broader
cyber insurance market and will require integration of cyber risk quantification, business impact analysis and thorough consideration of cyber risk management options.
We call this step forward Cyber Insurability 2.0.
Please join us for an informative webinar hosted by NJMEP which will dive into these issues and provide insightful advice for navigating the specific threats facing the manufacturing sector.
About Alliant Cyber:
Alliant Cyber, a division of Alliant Insurance Services, Inc. brings the best in cyber insurance brokerage services with industry leading consultative cyber risk and advisory services, risk quantification and third-party cybersecurity solutions. This holistic approach enables enhanced cyber risk management and insurability outcomes for our clients.
