What operational challenges have insurance companies faced and how can they ensure optimal cyber resilience for future disruptions?
Insurance Post in association with EXL hosted a live webinar where an expert panel discussed industry perspectives on how firms can seize the initiative on privacy, cyber risk and operational resilience as an opportunity to be future-ready.
Topics covered were:
- What are the biggest operational challenges companies have faced and how can they become resilient for future disruptions?
- How can firms monitor their risk profiles and keep up with today’s evolving risk and regulatory landscape?
- What patterns are emerging in the growing number of cyber-attacks post- pandemic? How can firms ensure optimal cyber resilience as remote working becomes the norm?
- Has demand for cyber insurance increased? And how is it affecting underwriters’ due diligence requirements for cyber insurance policies?
- With more personal data coming in as a result of contact-tracing apps and surveillance, can consumer privacy be compromised? How can firms balance health and safety and privacy?
- What challenges and opportunities lie ahead for firms in the post-pandemic world?
