Cyber insurance is no
longer optional expertise.
It is core to underwriting strategy, claims handling, product development, and risk advisory.
Yet most insurance professionals were never formally trained in:
- Cyber security fundamentals
- How cyber policies actually respond in practice
- The mechanics of ransomware and incident response
- Regulatory exposure and systemic risk
- Silent cyber leakage
CCIS closes that gap and levels up your confidence in cyber insurance.
Unrivalled Technical Depth
Designed for Insurance
The CCIS is designed specifically to advance technical cyber expertise within the insurance industry.
60% of CCIS is dedicated to core cybersecurity foundations, including IT architecture, networks, malware behavior, cloud services, security controls, and the evolving role of the CISO.
Technical concepts are simplified without being diluted, and structured specifically around what insurance professionals need to understand. The result is practical fluency that supports stronger underwriting, more informed claims handling, and more confident client advice.

The CCIS program takes you from technical foundations to practical cyber insurance application. It has been designed for professionals who need to underwrite cyber risk with confidence, handle cyber claims effectively, educe silent cyber exposure, structure better cyber proposals, speak fluently with CISOs and technical teams
