This masterclass is designed for cyber insurance professionals seeking to enhance their understanding of securing business-critical systems against both cyber and non-cyber disruptions. This session will explore how organizations globally are adopting a minimal viable business (MVB) approach to cyber resilience, what it means, and why it reduces risk.
It will also explore sector-specific risk assessment approaches; participants will finish this Masterclass with practical next steps to apply with policyholders using two use cases in the finance and healthcare sectors, including:
- How to identify critical systems in these sectors
- How to assess their cyber posture
- How to secure these systems.
You will leave with a clear framework for how organizations can minimize their upfront risk to reduce claims costs in the event of a cyber incident or data loss.
