Masterclass: The Human Factor in Cybersecurity
2024-07-15 15:00 - 16:00 UTC | Online Event
The Human Factor in Cybersecurity
Join our online Masterclass for practical strategies for guarding against the #1 cyber risk facing organizations today.

How can integrating human and technical defenses promote a more holistic approach to cybersecurity? With over 25 years of experience spanning medical, aerospace manufacturing, and defense sectors, Erich Kron brings unparalleled expertise to address one of the most critical aspects of cybersecurity today: the human factor.

The conversation around human error and cyber risk has, once again, been shoved into the spotlight recently, with Southwest Airlines and Liberty Insurance battling out policy interpretation in federal court in May this year. The case has underscored the critical importance of nuanced interpretations of causation in cyber insurance claims, particularly concerning human actions and management decisions during cyber incidents. We are delighted to be hosting Kron for a one-hour online Masterclass that promises to advocate for a more nuanced understanding of how human actions interact with technical vulnerabilities. This Masterclass will explore practical strategies to strengthen organizational resilience against cyber threats, emphasizing proactive security measures and robust incident response frameworks.

Risks and Rewards: Integrating AI into Cybersecurity Practices
2025-06-17 15:00 - 16:00 | Online Event
The insurance industry will need to assess insureds’ AI-related risks across multiple dimensions, including cybersecurity, privacy, intellectual property, bias, regulatory compliance, and physical risks. Individual carriers will need to establish interdepartmental teams to address AI’s impact on various insurance product lines and to develop tailored underwriting strategies for each. At the same time, AI technologies can be used to improve the underwriting process while balancing the potential risks of AI adoption.
This Masterclass will explore the cyber risk management implications of AI for both policyholders and the insurance professionals overseeing them.

Demonstrate your commitment to excellence with a shareable certificate. Available for Plus and Specialist Members Only.
Learning Objectives:

Analyze the opportunities presented by AI in cybersecurity, including improved threat detection, advanced vulnerability prediction, and enhanced incident response
Assess the malicious use of AI in sophisticated attacks, such as advanced malware, deep fakes, and tactics that complicate threat detection. How can we detect the use of AI in claims scenarios?
Explore how regulations impact the use of AI in cybersecurity, including the building of risk assessment frameworks
Explore real-world instances of AI-driven threats and their implications for liability, risk management, and insurance claims

Negotiating with Hackers: Ransomware and Cyber Policy
2025-07-01 18:00 - 19:00 | Zoom
Understand ransomware and cyber policy not from a textbook, but from the front lines.
Join us for a behind-the-scenes look into ransomware and cyber policy, digital extortion tactics, and the real-world decision-making that shapes ransomware negotiations. In this exclusive session, we will walk through how attackers think, how negotiations unfold, and what cyber insurance can and can’t protect against.
In partnership with DarkData, an elite cyber intelligence firm operating in the Deep and Dark Web, this event will blend technical insights with strategic decision-making frameworks to help organizations and insurers respond more effectively to ransomware threats.
What We’ll Cover

Inside the ransomware ecosystem.
The anatomy of a ransomware attack.
How the cyber insurance policy comes into a ransomware attack – for better and for worse.

Meet the speaker
Martin Brea has dedicated his entire professional career to the technology and software sector. In his early years, Martin Brea worked with artificial intelligence solutions and biometric identification systems to create secure digital identities for the financial industry. Four years ago, he co-founded DarkData with the aim of providing incident response services specialized in ransomware resolution.
About DarkData
DarkData is a leading advanced cyber intelligence company specializing in the detection, analysis, and neutralization of digital threats, particularly in complex environments such as the Deep and Dark Web where many sophisticated cyberattacks originate. Its core services include proactive threat hunting, continuous cyberspace monitoring, and rapid response to critical incidents, including ransomware attacks, data breaches, and cyber-espionage operations.

A key competitive advantage of DarkData lies in its ability to extract operational and technical intelligence directly from real-world incidents. Rather than relying on simulations or assumptions, the company leverages firsthand experience gained through direct engagement with threat actors and ransomware groups during actual incidents.

This approach enables DarkData to deeply understand attackers’ methods, motivations, and tactical evolution, creating a continuous learning cycle that transforms each attack into actionable strategic intelligence. As a result, DarkData adopts a more effective security paradigm that prioritizes: 1. Response → 2. Detection → 3. Prevention.

Hybrid Mesh Architecture – The Next Big Factor in Cyber Insurance
2025-09-16 15:00 - 16:00 | Zoom
As businesses modernize their IT environments, many are moving away from traditional network models toward hybrid mesh architecture, a security approach that interconnects multiple security and networking components across on‑premises, cloud, and remote environments. This shift promises greater resilience, flexibility, and unified policy enforcement, but it also introduces new complexities and exposures that insurance professionals must understand.

For insurers, an insured’s network architecture is quickly becoming a key determinant in assessing cyber resilience, breach likelihood, and potential claims costs. Underwriters and brokers who grasp how hybrid mesh architectures are designed, deployed, and defended will be better positioned to evaluate insureds, set coverage terms, and advise clients on risk mitigation.

This Masterclass will explore the cyber risk management implications of hybrid mesh architecture for policyholders and the insurance professionals supporting them.

Learning Objectives:

Understand what hybrid mesh architecture is, how it works, and why organizations are adopting it
Assess how network design impacts threat exposure, detection capabilities, and breach containment
Identify the underwriting considerations unique to hybrid mesh environments, including interconnectivity risks, vendor dependencies, and incident response complexity.
Learn the right questions to ask insureds about their network architecture to inform coverage decisions and pricing
