    Description:

    Cyber risk can’t be eliminated—only managed. This session focuses on aligning cyber protectioncompliance, and cyber insurance so coverage responds when it matters. We’ll clarify what cyber policies cover—and don’t cover—and how gaps between security controls and insurance language can turn incidents into denied claims.

    Mandatory annual cybersecurity training can be leveraged to reduce incidentsstrengthen underwriting confidence, and lower premiums.

    Typical carrier requirements include:

    • MFA for remote access and email

    • Offline or immutable backups

    • EDR and advanced email security

    • Privileged access controls

    • Incident response plans with insurer notification built in

    Attendees will leave with practical guidance to bridge the gap between compliance and insurability—so a bad day doesn’t become an uninsured one.

    12:00–1:15 pm — Lunch
