In the ever-changing arena of cybersecurity and insurance, constant learning is crucial. Bad actors are continuously evolving, which significantly burdens individuals and companies to stay updated. To address this need, Keepit is hosting a webinar on cyber insurance strategies amid the surge in ransomware attacks.
Keepit, a global cloud backup and recovery solutions provider, will present a webinar titled “From threat to defense: Cyber insurance woes as ransomware surges” on June 27, 2024. The event will address current trends in ransomware and its impact on the cyber insurance market.
The webinar will feature experts including Andrew Wildrix, Vice President of Business Development at Intrusion; Kim Larsen, Chief Information Security Officer at Keepit; and Dara Gibson, Senior Manager at Optiv. Paul Robichaux, Microsoft MVP and Senior Director of Product Management at Keepit, will moderate the session.
Ransomware
Ransomware attacks have increased significantly, with 75% of organizations experiencing at least one successful attack in 2023. This rise in attacks presents challenges for both security professionals and cyber insurers. Robichaux noted that while tools like EDR and XDR are important, they are insufficient alone. He pointed to recent breaches, such as those affecting Snowflake, as examples of the need for comprehensive business continuity strategies.
The webinar will cover the latest developments in ransomware and the changing requirements for securing cyber insurance. Topics will include underwriter requirements, insurance rate increases, and coverage limitations. The panel will also discuss recent breaches and provide strategies for improving cybersecurity.
The webinar is scheduled for Thursday, June 27 at 10:30 a.m. EDT. Interested participants can register for the event. Sign up here
