Webinar to identify current trends,
comprehensive outlook on the evolving ransomware landscape and the
impact on the cyber security insurance market
Keepit, a global provider of cloud backup and recovery
solutions, today announced that it will be presenting a webinar
titled, “From threat to defense: Cyber insurance woes as ransomware
surges”, on June 27, 2024. Facilitated by Keepit, the webinar will
explore recent developments in the market and engage a panel of
cybersecurity and information technology (IT) experts to discuss
trends in ransomware and how they affect organizations’ ability to
secure cyber insurance today. The panel of experts includes Andrew
Wildrix, cybersecurity and IT leader, former Chief Information
Officer and current Vice President of Business Development at
Intrusion; Kim Larsen, Chief Information Security Officer at Keepit
and advisor on cybersecurity; and Dara Gibson, Senior Manager at
cyber insurability services provider, Optiv.
Ransomware plagues security professionals – and, in turn, the
companies that insure them – more than ever before: A staggering
75% of organizations fell victim to a successful ransomware attack
at least once in 2023 alone. The relentless evolution of this
threat demands constant vigilance and security tactics that can
keep up with the threats as they evolve.
"When we talk to customers, we often hear about their ransomware
defense; they talk about EDR or XDR tools and so on. Those tools
are important, but they're not enough by themselves,” said Paul
Robichaux, Microsoft MVP and Senior Director of Product Management
at Keepit, who will moderate the webinar. “For example, the
Snowflake breaches look like they're the result of old-fashioned
credential reuse. Cyber insurers are looking beyond what tools
you've bought and asking hard questions about your end-to-end
business continuity strategy, including what you do for data
protection."
In addition to covering recent market developments and trends in
the ransomware threat landscape and their impact on the ability of
organizations to secure cyber insurance, the panel will also
discuss the insurer’s perspective on cybersecurity. Webinar
participants will gain an understanding of how underwriter
requirements are changing in the market, the escalation of rates,
limitations in coverage, and receive actionable insights that can
help organizations determine whether cyber insurance is the right
strategy for them.
Takeaways from the webinar will include:
- Perspectives on the recent Snowflake breaches;
- An understanding of current trends and a comprehensive outlook
on the evolving ransomware landscape;
- Valuable insights into the key challenges organizations face to
inform their cybersecurity and cyber insurance strategy;
