How do we really solve ransomware?
Ransomware has stuck around as a severe problem much longer than other risks facing the cyber market. Why is it different than other cyber threats? This session will look at how double extortion, data manipulation, and triple extortion are changing the game and help the audience understand what happens when bad actors get into a system and just why these events have been so damaging.
10:50am-11:35am
Regulation & Legislation
Ransomware is a massive problem for businesses and their insurers and has attracted the attention of lawmakers and regulators. How can governments best help and is mandatory reporting on the way? What is the status of the Biden Administration’s executive orders on cybersecurity? We’ll also look at the latest developments regarding OFAC’s guidance, and state regulations in Illinois (BIPA) and California (CCPA).

Modeling the Extensive Cyber Risk Ecosystem
How can modeling help the industry forecast supply chain risk in the future? Single points of failure have become a key concern for cyberattacks – this session will look at effectively capturing potential problems for both buyers and insurers. We’ll also evaluate several “cyber CAT” scenarios and see how successful modeling has been.
10:50am-11:35am
Looking for the Light at the End of the Tunnel
What’s the rosy future for cyber insurance? When does the market turn the corner? Is new innovation on the horizon for products, services, and technology? Can risk managers take heart that C-suites and boards are sitting up and paying attention to cyber? How will this change risk management strategies and insurance negotiations for the better? Cross-industry collaboration and public-private sector partnerships are on the rise, perhaps paving the way for progress in a vital industry.
11:35am-11:43am
Shop Talk: A Race Against the Clock: The Need for Speed to Recovery sponsored by CrowdStrike
When a breach occurs, speed to remediation and recovery is critical to minimize the impact on your business. Advanced persistent threats can quickly break out across your network, infecting your endpoints, laterally moving across your systems and disrupting your business operations. These very sophisticated, sustained cyberattacks often establish multiple points of undetected persistence in your network in order to infect your systems with malware or steal sensitive data over a prolonged period of time. These attacks are carefully planned and designed to infiltrate your organization, evade existing security measures and fly under the radar. Most importantly, if coordinated and effective countermeasures are not taken to remove all points of persistence, the attacker will continue to reinfect systems after initial remediation, causing further delays and interruptions to business recovery.
