Manage episode 425721255 series 3372765
In a landscape where cyber attacks are constantly evolving, is your business insurance keeping pace?
Welcome to another episode of Razorwire! I'm your host, Jim, and today we dive deep into the dynamic world of cyber insurance. Neil Hare-Brown and Matt Clark, two industry experts, are with us to share their wealth of knowledge and insights on how cyber insurance has changed to address today's security challenges.
In this episode, we cover the critical role of cyber insurance in modern security strategies, from mitigating the financial impact of cyber incidents to navigating the details of underwriting and premium setting. We also discuss the increasing trend of third party attacks and why companies must prioritise reviewing their vendors and suppliers. By the end of this episode, you'll have a clearer understanding of why cyber insurance is no longer a luxury but a necessity, and how you can leverage it to bolster your organisation's cyber resilience.
Key Talking Points:
1. Rising Costs and Frequent Threats: Neil explains why cyber insurance is crucial for mitigating significant financial impact of cyber crime.
2. Underwriting and Premiums: Matt tells us how insurers use data and tools like ransomware calculators to set premiums and how businesses can proactively improve their cybersecurity posture.
3. Vetting Third Party Vendors: We discuss why we must thoroughly assess third party providers, with insights into new insurance services and facilities aimed at helping businesses manage and recover from cyber incidents more effectively.
Tune in to discover how cyber insurance can be an integral part of your organisation's defence strategy and ensure you're prepared for whatever comes your way.
