In this episode, Jason and Kevin join guest Ross Ingersoll, Executive Risk & Cyber Account Executive at Holmes & Murphy & Associates. We discuss the topic of cyber insurance and how being protected from today's Cyber risks can better position your company in the event of a major breach event.

If you've ever wondered about what Cyber Insurance covers, or what types of things you need to be considering before you even think about applying for Cyber Insurance, then this episode will hit home! In today's Cyber climate, does your company have the risk appetite to go without the added protection of Cyber Insurance to fall back on? Ross shares his valuable insight on why YOU might want to at least consider a policy for your business.

We'll also play the "Cyber Claim Game" where we take a look at how some of today's larger breaches played out and what other companies have paid out due to lack of preparedness. You will take away some valuable insight around this topic and several key actionable items that you can consider if you want to look into cyber insurance for your company! Lastly, you'll discover the Key Carrier Provisions that every underwriter looks at before inking a policy.
