For four days this April, San Antonio will be the epicenter of risk management as RIMS holds its annual exposition and exchange of ideas. Leaders from Argo Group will address some of the latest issues facing the industry – from tactical medical support for SWAT teams to best practices for protecting against data breaches.
Protecting companies and their directors and officers from cyberattacks
Data breaches hit major companies on a regular basis, grabbing headlines and exposing businesses and their boards to lawsuits. In his presentation, “When a Cyber Event Hits the Boardroom: Crucial Steps for Directors and Officers,” Richard Edsall, commercial senior vice president of underwriting at Argo Pro, will provide a comprehensive set of steps that corporate directors and officers can take to mitigate data breaches.
His recommendations include beefing up the company’s understanding of data security, crafting customer notification plans and procedures, and making sure sufficient coverage for directors and officers insurance and cyber insurance is in place. He also will discuss the importance of training, hiring a chief information security officer and more.
Because directors and officers can be held personally liable for failing to exercise duty of care when a data breach occurs, Edsall will discuss how to ensure they are more defensible in case of a cyber event.
