Advisen hosted its 3rd annual Cyber Risk Awards at a gala dinner event in New York City that is fast
becoming the leading networking event on the cyber social calendar. An excellent line-up of emcees
brought their unique flavor to the evening that saw the cyber market’s top performers honored
by their peers. Unlike other industry award presentations that kowtow to advertisers, Advisen’s Cyber
Risk Awards are determined by “People’s Choice” and leverage Advisen’s vast contact database of
over 40,000 P&C professionals who care about Cyber Risk.
Tom Srail of Willis Towers Watson, Graeme Newman of CFC Underwriting, & Jeremy Gittler of XL Catlin were back to anchor the program, and were joined this year by Shannon Groeber of JLT Specialty.
