All manner of business ethics ranging from honest and fair disclosures in the case of public companies to FCPA compliance. I would put cyber security risk as a very close second area of greatest concern for executives in just about every industry.
Cyber/information security.
Yes, although I don’t think you need any single one of those threats to impel executive concern. Business survival is enough of a motivator to keep executives focused. Just look at how profound the Sony Pictures breach was.
From a policyholder perspective, I think the insurance industry could be a lot more policyholder friendly in offering a simpler-to-understand insurance product for a serious set of risks that most policyholders confront.
What keeps you awake at night?
Those businesses that have not gotten around to devising a cyber catastrophe plan and assembling the team necessary to implement the plan. Time is precious in the context of a data breach.
