Advisen hosted its 4th annual Cyber Risk Awards at a gala dinner event in New York City that has become the leading networking event on the cyber social calendar. Willis Towers Watson’s Tom Srail, CFC’s Graeme Newman, XL Catlin’s Jeremy Gittler, and JLT Specialty USA’s Shannon Groeber returned to emcee the event. 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 professionals who care about Cyber Risk. 300 Cyber Risk Professionals attended this dinner in 2016.
