Masterclass: Supporting Insureds With Email Security
2023-05-23 18:00 - 19:00
Supporting Insureds With Email Security
Cyber insurance professionals play a critical role in helping businesses understand and manage their cyber risks with email security. Understanding email security is therefore a critical aspect for all cyber insurance professionals.
75% of organizations worldwide reported an attempted business email compromise (BEC) attack last year.
Cyber attackers often gain access to sensitive information, such as financial data, passwords, and personal information, through email security breaches. The consequences of a successful attack can be severe, leading to reputational damage, legal liability, and financial loss for your clients. By having a strong grasp of email security trends and best practices, cyber insurance professionals can evaluate their clients’ cyber hygiene posture and provide valuable guidance to help them select the appropriate insurance policy and vendor for their business.
Masterclass Learning Objectives: Email Security

Identify & explain key trends relating to email security & BEC attacks.
Give examples of best practices that your insureds should follow to mitigate the impact of attacks via emails; apply these to evaluate their cyber hygiene.
Explain what a catch rate is, how the cost of remaining risk is calculated and what these metrics can tell us about the efficiency of your insureds’ email security vendors.

Masterclass: Endpoint Detection and Response & Incident Response
2022-07-01 18:00 - 19:00
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), also referred to as endpoint detection and threat response (EDTR), is an endpoint security solution that continuously monitors end-user devices to detect and respond to cyber threats like ransomware and malware. Because EDR extends protection to endpoints in a network, it plays an important role in a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy. With the increased frequency and cost of cyber attacks, underwriters are requiring proof that companies have robust protections in place. Among a plethora of baseline requirements for cyber insurance coverage is a tool many underwriters require before they consider covering an organization: Endpoint detection and response (EDR).
Masterclass Topics:

A complete A-Z on Endpoint Detection and Response and Incident Response
Non-technical, insurance-focused insights on threat detection and responses
Exclusive insight into malicious activity detection on the Crowdstrike Falcon platform
