Cyber Security Awareness Month is coming to an end, but understanding this critical risk should be a year-round focus for industry professionals.

The CrowdStrike outage showed that cyber losses don’t always stem from attacks, and how widespread the impacts of an incident can be.

Insurance News is holding a half-day seminar in Sydney on November 21 to deliver key insight to help you understand cyber, and ensure your clients have the coverage they need. Tickets are on sale now.

The event promises critical insights on the latest trends and practical strategies for advising SMEs before and after a cyberattack. Expert-led sessions aim to give attendees the knowledge required to confidently manage clients’ cyber insurance needs.

Sessions will begin with an industry overview from Taylor Fry principal Win-Li Toh, followed by an interactive session – Busting Cyber Myths: Turning Business Concerns Into Actionable Solutions – with Coalition GM Sam Weaver.

Insurance News MD Andrew Silcox will then lead a panel discussion – So, You’ve Been Attacked? What Next? – featuring Wotton + Kearney partners Kieran Doyle and Nicole Gabryk, Porter Novelli CEO Rhys Ryan and Triskele Labs global digital forensics and incident response lead Richard Grainger.

The final session, with Marsh head of cyber Gill Collins, is Catastrophic Cyber Loss: Are We Prepared?

The seminar is backed by event partners Coalition and Wotton + Kearney, and sponsor Australia Underwriting.

Attendees are entitled to four NIBA CPD points and four ANZIIF CIP points.
