How activity relates to career goals:
The activity helped me learn of a potential path I can take to combine insurance and MIS as a major. It is a very in-demand career path and definitely something I will keep in mind moving forward. The webinar gives knowledge on the cyber insurance industry and how it relates to how it relates to business. I learned the importance of cyber risk and the ever-changing landscape of this type of insurance.Some notes and more specific things I learned:
Underwriting of cyber insurance and the probability of an incident happening to a specific organization. The type of business changes the way the insurance is underwritten (depends on exposure and loss).
Look for organizations that promote a culture of cyber/security risk. Evaluate how company protect their assets and how they will deal with loss.
-Cataclysmic events regarding cyber insurance- a major malware, massive data breach, and massive cloud outages.
-Complete outage of internet and cyberwar is uninsurable.
-Demand for cyber-insurance has been increasing. Now there is almost becoming more demand than supply. Insurance companies are even more picky on who to insure.
