Webinar: Cyber Liability Insurance

On March 28, the National Cybersecurity Institute (NCI) hosted a webinar on Cyber Liability Insurance.

According to the Identity Theft Resource Center, there were 781 data breaches reported in 2015 alone, compromising nearly 170 million private records. As these numbers continue to skyrocket, the prevailing question has become not if you will experience a data breach but when. Developing a strategy in this rapidly changing environment presents significant challenges. Correspondingly in the last year there has been a surge of cyber liability insurance adoption, and with it an influx of new questions.

This webinar explored the role cyber liability Insurance plays in risk management strategy including discussion of questions like: Do we need cyber insurance? How does it fit into our risk strategy? What is the right coverage, and how do we prepare for a cyber-intrusion or data breach incident?

The webinar was presented by Steve Lobel. As an entrepreneur, Steve Lobel spent his formative years starting and growing several business ventures.
