ABOUT THE SESSION
With the number of cybersecurity attacks and data breaches on the rise, social media risks making headlines, and the omnipresence of cyber and technology liabilities, the importance of insurance coverage for these types of exposures and liabilities continues to grow. Companies often do not realize that their insurance policies may contain gaps in coverage created by exclusions and other limitations, and may not be familiar with the different products and opportunities in the marketplace to prepare for these risks. This session will provide the key points needed to maximize cyber insurance assets and protect a company from data breach and cyber risks and losses.
