Cyber incidents and their impact on businesses

Monday, 14 October 2024
4:00 pm – 5:00 pm (UK time)
    • Matt Norris, Head of International Distribution - Beazley Digital, Beazley

The Insurance Society of Edinburgh, in conjunction with Beazley, are pleased to announce the above named subject for our next CPD event for it's members.

In today’s era of accelerating cyber risks, organisations are on the front line. No matter the size of the business or what sector they operate in, they will face challenges.

The recent CrowdStrike IT outage is a timely reminder of how fragile networks are and what can go wrong when one link in the chain makes an error or costly mistake. In this session, Matthew Norris from Beazley will explore what actually happens during cyber incidents, how do they affect companies, and what can be done to reduce their likelihood and impact?

Learning objectives:

  1. Identify the most common types of cyber incident and trends
  2. Understand core risk management features that will improve the resilience of organisations
  3. Describe how insurance products can help protect clients
