They discussed the importance of having the right protections in place to qualify for cyber insurance and the evolving landscape of cyber threats and insurance expectations. Key points included the necessity of regular hardware and software updates, strong passwords, multi-factor authentication, and employee training to mitigate risks. Duncan emphasized the insurers&#8217; perspective on assessing risk, highlighting the significance of access controls, incident response plans, and the culture of cybersecurity within organizations. The session concluded with insights into how cyber insurers assess risk and the consequences of inadequate protection, stressing the importance of aligning with insurers&#8217; expectations to ensure comprehensive coverage.<\/span>.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every cyber-breach tells a story, and the best way to protect your business is learning from others&#8217; experiences before they become your own.
