ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

The big three threats are growing: ransomware, business email compromise (invoice fraud),and credential threat.

Cybersecurity Insurance may not pay out claims if you don't protect your business with a good plan.  Insurers increasingly require verification of cybersecurity practices, governance, and documentation, often resulting in higher premiums, exclusions, or denied claims.  This webinar provides a non-technical explanation of today’s cyber insurance landscape and the most common reasons claims fail, including inaccurate attestations, control gaps, and insufficient oversight. The session is educational, vendor-neutral, and designed for non-technical business leaders to protect their business.

Starts in 2 months!

LEARN HOW TO:

  • understand how cybersecurity insurance underwriting for small businesses has changed and why insurers now require greater validation of small business controls.
  • identify the most common reasons cybersecurity insurance claims are denied or reduced.
  • distinguish between cybersecurity tools and cybersecurity insurance readiness.
  • assess cybersecurity insurance readiness from a leadership and governance perspective.
  •  counter threats and retain your cyber-insurance so that you are covered should an attack occur"
