CYBER INSURANCE

IS IT WORTH THE PAPER

IT'S WRITTEN ON? 

Cyber Insurance

Suncorp. Level 28, 266 George Street, Brisbane

Brisbane Riskers, welcome to 2019! Our first Cyber Risk Meetup of the year will be on Thursday 28th February at Suncorp (Brisbane Square) from 4:30pm.  This month we will take a deep dive into Cyber Insurance and explore whether these new(ish) policies are worthwhile and providing the safety-net companies are expecting them to. 

 

By many measures 2017 was an eventful year for Cyber Riskers. WannaCry and NotPetya Malware alone inflicted more than US$14 billion in total damages to companies around the Globe. In the wake of the carnage that occurred it’s unimaginable for most Security Managers that their Cyber Insurance policy wouldn’t help cover some of the costs their organisations were left with. Following Zurich’s decision not to cover a $100m claim by Mondelez for damages arising from NotPetya, some are questioning the value of Cyber Insurance. 

 

Join our presenters and panel of Insurance experts and cyber security colleagues to:

  • Discover some of the Cyber Incidents that have triggered claims and whether they were actually covered,

  • Explore the benefits and limitations of Cyber Insurance,

  • Learn about the strategies you need to know to get the most from Cyber Insurance.

 

We are pleased to bring you insights and lessons from Sedwick, Willis Towers Watson, University Sunshine Coast (and a few others). So come along, listen, learn, share and network with like minded colleagues that appreciate your passion for Cyber Risk.


PROGRAM

Feb 28, 2019, Thursday

 

4:30 PM - 6:30 PM

 

Jillian Pancott will share some real-life case studies and statistics from about recent Cyber Insurance claims Sedwick have been involved in assessing. Ben Di Marco will share their insights into Cyber Insurance from the perspectives of an insurance broker and Lawyer advising Incident Responders.

After our insightful presentations our distinguished panel of experts will discuss whether Cyber Insurance is still a good option for risk managers and whether it is really a case of buyer beware? Bring along your questions for our panellists.

3RD Party Risk

- Have you got it Covered?

3rd Party

Joint Cyber Security Centre, L12/340 Adelaide Street, Brisbane

Brisbane Riskers, this is what you’ve been patiently waiting for! Our inaugural Cyber Risk Meetup is coming on September 12th. We have some awesome presenters, an exclusive location and some important lessons to be shared. Our session will be informative, insightful and leave you looking forward to our regular events.

We’ve all heard about the confusion and concern created earlier this year when one of Australia’s largest Global SaaS providers, PageUp, released details of a suspected breach of its platform. Some of the Australia’s largest employers needed to enact their incident response plans, communicate about a data breach they scarcely understood and answer questions from employees and job-candidates they probably weren’t informed enough to answer. Our first Cyber Risk Meetup will explore how the risks associated with 3rd party business partners and suppliers can be managed.

With the help of two great speakers and an expert panel we’ll uncover the tips and tricks of great 3rd Party Risk Management practice. Come join your peers to explore the lessons they’ve learnt from Australia’s first high profile privacy breach since the Notifiable Data Breach Scheme came into effect.

 

You’ll learn more about:
* Managing the risk of doing business with 3rd parties and service providers
* How to respond to incidents that involve business partners and suppliers
* Who is responsible for handling the impacts of incidents caused by your suppliers.

We are pleased to bring you insights and lessons from Flight Centre, Clyde & Co, the Joint Cyber Security Centre (and a few others). So, come along and listen, learn, share and network with like minded colleagues that appreciate your passion for Cyber Risk.

Light refreshments and plenty of networking opportunities will be provided.
