After over a decade of experience, Linda Kaniaru recognized that traditional claims expertise needed to evolve with the help of cyber insurance training. That’s when she was awarded a scholarship through the Cyber Insurance Academy Scholarship Program to pursue the Certified Cyber Insurance Specialist (CCIS) Designation, an opportunity that would expand her professional toolkit through world-class cyber insurance training.
Learning the Language of Cyber Risk through Cyber Insurance Training
For Linda, the CCIS program was a transformative experience that bridged her existing insurance expertise with the emerging world of digital risk through cyber insurance training. “The CCIS course is very detailed,” she says. “It provides a platform to learn all the intricacies of a cyber incident, from simple definitions of cyber acronyms to complex topics in the cyber world. It has enabled me to grasp why and how we need to protect ourselves and our clients against cyber-attacks.”
Through the designation’s combination of cyber insurance training and cyber insurance education, Linda gained a deeper understanding of how technical cyber concepts translate into real-world insurance implications. “The real-world examples drove the point home in terms of why it’s important to manage cyber risks,” she adds.
Empowering Others Through Cyber Insurance Training
Linda’s newfound expertise also empowers her to educate others, a ripple effect of the cyber insurance education she received through the CCIS. “In my current role, I am now in charge of cyber claims,” she shares. “The CCIS course has boosted my confidence in how I handle cyber claims, as I am now able to respond effectively to our insured’s concerns and queries.” Linda’s passion for learning and sharing knowledge is at the heart of her professional mission.
Her story highlights the growing importance of cyber insurance training in building a resilient, knowledgeable insurance workforce. “I love the CCIS course,” she says. “Its easy-to-understand outline helped me appreciate the world of cyber risk management.”
