"We received a call from a client reporting a cyberattack" ⚠ A cyber incident can pose a serious threat to a company. And when the worst happens, it’s ultimately our people – the people behind the policy – who save the day for our insureds. Across the market day-in and day-out, claims handlers, risk consultants and underwriters are hard at work, building partnerships with risk managers to be able to act fast and ensure a smooth recovery in the event of a cyberattack. Jeanelle Dawes-Ghee, Robert Riha, Daniel Hart, Michele Ricci, Mark Barker and Steven Hagley explain why that partnership is so critical.
