How senior executives protect themselves from personal liability in the event of cyber incidents - #29Minutes by Control Risk & Risk Partners

If we look at our claims experience in the area of directors' and officers' liability in recent years, internal claims alleging inadequate cyber risk management and emergency management in the event of a cyberattack are unfortunately on the rise. In addition to special risk transfer solutions (cyber insurance and insurance against loss of profits), there are also very practical tips on how to react correctly if the worst comes to the worst. 

Following an exchange at a risk management conference in Q1 this year, Reiner Wetzel from(Control Risk) and Florian agreed to provide valuable information on this topic as part of Control Risk's #29 Minutes series. Take a look at the recording of the result with the following agenda items:

  • In focus: We show you how managers can avoid liability traps in the event of cyber incidents
