Corporate Insurance Blog

I recently joined Priya Cherian Huskins and Lauri Floresca of Woodruff Sawyer & Co. to discuss D&O insurance, cyberinsurance, and insurance coverage for privacy issues, data breaches, cyberattacks, denial-of-service attacks and more.   Lauri and Priya gave an overview of the D&O insurance marketplace, including changes in pricing, availability of limits, and new insurance policies and insurance products.  Then we shifted gears and talked about cybersecurity, cyber liability, and insurance coverage for cybersecurity risks.  We touched on the latest data breaches, privacy claims and class actions, and other cyber incidents to have hit the news and discussed the related insurance coverage issues.  The audio and supporting materials (that Woodruff Sawyer prepared) have been put online as a podcast and supporting PDF, so that you listen, in case you missed the live presentation.
