About this session

Remote and hybrid working spreads a business across home networks, personal devices and cloud services, and attackers know where the gaps tend to be. This 35-minute session looks at how a distributed business gets compromised and what that means for both security and insurance cover.

It brings together two views: Matt Elson, Director of managed IT provider INDIGO IT, on the security side, and Claire Crowson, a commercial insurance specialist at Pelican Insured, on how insurers see cyber risk. They cover the controls insurers expect you to be able to evidence, and how to make sure your cover actually pays out when you need it.

If you arrange or renew your business's insurance, or you'd be the one answering for it if the cover didn't fit, it gives you clear questions to take away. INDIGO IT is a managed service provider, so expect some promotion of its services.

What you’ll learn

How remote working gets exploited, and how to evidence your controls so cyber insurance pays out.

Who it’s for

Business owners, finance and operations leads, and IT managers who arrange or renew cyber insurance, or would be answerable if the cover didn't fit.
