Special Ep: Cyber Risk - Resilience in a game-changing environment

The Voice of Insurance

Beazley is a carrier that is synonymous with expertise in the Cyber insurance line and today we are going to get a masterclass in the Cyber threat and how to deal with it from all angles.

We’re going to look at how that cyber threat is evolving, and how Cyber criminals are modifying their methods of attack in the face of an increasingly sophisticated line of defence from companies and Government agencies around the world.

We’ll look at the new threats coming in the age of Artificial Intelligence and - in a world where the CrowdStrike event has reminded us that not all threats necessarily need to be malicious to have a global impact – more mundane problems

A decade ago cyber insurers may have partnered with third party service providers, such as threat monitors and security consultants.

These days the best cyber insurers are bringing those services in-house and offering a holistic offering to their customers, one where everyone’s interests are fully aligned to the best outcomes for all concerned.

In this podcast we will see how this is fundamentally changing the traditional relationship between insurers and their customers.

You don’t have to be a Cyber expert to benefit from a listen to this podcast – indeed, as the Cyber world encroaches more and more on every aspect of our daily lives and companies become aware that Cyber threats directly affect the core of their businesses in all respects, being an avowed techie is less and less important.

These days the best CEOs and CFOs are increasingly aware that a Cyber attack could be an existential threat to their company and that this is clearly not a matter to be left to the IT department to handle alone.

To help us cover this subject from all possible angles, I have been lucky enough to interview four diverse experts from within the wider Beazley business:

They are: Fran Donoso, Chief Technology Officer of Beazley Security, Sydonie Williams, Beazley’s Cyber & Tech Focus Group Leader for the rest of the world, Raf Sanchez – Head of Cyber Services at Beazley Security and Cyber Security Consultant, Alex Creswell.

NOTES:
I highly recommend you download Beazley’s latest Cyber Tech Risk Report.

It’s called Spotlight On Cyber & Technology Risk 2024 - Resilience in a Game-changing environment and it makes a perfect accompaniment to this podcast.
