Intro and Setting the Table on Cyber Liability

Cyber Risk: Are You Protected When—not If—Something Happens?”

Cyber threats are no longer just a technology concern—they are a business risk that can impact every department and every employee. From phishing and social engineering to ransomware, business email compromise, and data breaches, employers of all sizes face growing exposure.

This interactive lunch & learn will provide HR and business leaders with a practical understanding of today’s cyber risks and the steps they can take to better protect their organization. We’ll explore where employers are most vulnerable, how an employee can unintentionally trigger a cyber event, what happens when a breach occurs, and how cyber insurance fits into an organization’s overall risk management strategy.

Participants will leave with practical questions to ask their IT, leadership, and insurance teams, along with actionable steps to help reduce cyber exposure, strengthen their organization’s preparedness, and protect their people, data, and bottom line.

Topics will include:

  • The most common cyber threats facing employers today
  • The human factor and why employees remain a critical line of defense
  • Protecting sensitive employee and company information
  • What happens during a cyberattack or data breach
  • Cyber insurance: what it covers and where gaps can exist
