The insurance industry is just as vulnerable to cyber-attacks as any other industry. But what do these bad actors look for when targeting insurance carriers? And how can carriers protect themselves from these kinds of exposures?
March Schein, national co-chair of the cyber risk practice at Marsh McLennan Agency, recently spoke with Dark Reading about these questions. Marc talks about how targeted information can include client coverage limits and sensitive data in application forms.
According to the article, “Schein points out that other insurance products, such as errors and omissions policies or directors and officers policies, could provide valuable information about trade secrets, private information of key company executives, and data about potential business transactions.”
