Mind the Gaps: The Impact of Emerging Threats on Cyber Insurance

Thursday, December 7, 12 to 1 p.m. EST

View CPD Information

Cybersecurity insurance is a nascent product reacting to a fast-evolving threat landscape. Every business in every sector is vulnerable to data breach, ransomware, and other cyber attacks. New cyber threats are on the horizon and most of today’s coverage options are inadequate to cover them. 

Please join Howard Smith for an informative lunchtime webinar on December 7 where he will discuss what cyber insurance does and does not cover. Howard will also shed light on emerging cyber threats impacting industrial control systems and industrial IoT (internet of things) and the gaps in coverage these threats pose.

Featured Speaker: Howard Smith, Cyber Insurance Counsel

Howard Smith was called to the Ontario Bar in 1994 and practices cyber insurance law, providing counsel to insurers, brokers, and corporate risk managers. For many years, Howard provided legal counsel to commercial insurers’ underwriting and claims departments, exposing him to a broad range of commercial insurance products.
