Lunch&Learn - Cyber Security Insurance (Aug 2023)

Lunch&Learn: Cyber Security Insurance

With the increase of work being carried out online, it's important to remind ourselves of the dangers that exist on our work and personal devices. Join Brian Mahon - SBU Account Executive at EHD - as he takes us through what we need to know to stay safe and avoid unnecessary expense.

• We’ll talk briefly about today’s cyber threat landscape, how “threat actors” (Hackers, bad guys) are wreaking havoc on small to mid sized businesses here in South Central PA, why they do what they do, what assets their attacks affect.
• Mention privacy law in PA and elsewhere in the USA
• We’ll discuss Cyber Liability insurance 101, what is it, what it covers, why it’s becoming so popular, potential costs and how much to consider, and how cyber insurance underwriters analyze your company
• Pitfalls to look out for in your current coverage or when looking into getting the coverage for the first time
• We’ll discuss how underwriters view companies cyber risk, and how to get preferred treatment (better coverage, lower prices)
