Cyber Insurance

Wednesday, August 9, 1:30 – 5:00 PM

Oceanside D, Level 2

Cyber liability insurance, like it or not, already has and will continue to have a profound impact on the entire Information Security industry. Everyone in the industry will be affected because no matter how many resources an organization invests in various security controls, there will always be latent risk of breach and financial loss. That’s one of the main reasons why organizations find it attractive to transfer their risk to an insurance carrier. As these business decisions are made it becomes vital for InfoSec pros to become familiar with cyber-insurance policies in what they cover and don’t cover; how claims are made, which are paid vs denied, how the incident response process may be altered; and how carriers influence what security controls their clients implement.
