Cyber Insurance – What Businesses Need to Know

Cyber insurance has become an increasingly important part of how organisations assess and manage cyber risk. But what does the insurance market actually look for, and what should businesses understand when considering cyber insurance?

For this special Cyber Thursday, KMCC is joined by Huw Dyer, UK Large Corporate Cyber Leader at Willis, for an informal fireside chat exploring the realities of the cyber insurance market.

Huw specialises in cyber risk and insurance for large corporate clients, with a particular focus on the retail and financial services sectors. He brings more than a decade of experience in the insurance industry and extensive practical experience of the evolving cyber insurance landscape.

What we'll discuss

The conversation will explore the realities of cyber insurance, including how organisations approach cyber risk, what insurers look for, and some of the challenges businesses face when navigating the cyber insurance market.

The fireside chat will be followed by an audience Q&A, giving you the opportunity to put your own questions directly to Huw.

We’ll then continue the evening with food, drinks and informal networking.

Who should attend?

The event is open to:

Cybersecurity and technology professionals

IT and security practitioners

Students and those starting a career in cybersecurity
