Unlocking the Value in Cyber Data

December 02, 2015

11:00 am - 12:00 pm ET 

Received wisdom in the cyber marketplace says historical data on the frequency and severity of cyber risk events is not sufficient to fully quantify the financial risk of cyber exposures.

But is this true? After all, the insurance industry typically refines models. It does not wait to have the perfect data. Rather than waiting decades, do we now have enough information for organizations to understand cyber vulnerabilities—and for insurers to build the marketplace and strengthen its role in improving cyber resilience?

On December 2, Advisen will host a webinar to explore what data the industry actually has today and uncover the value of this data for quantifying cyber risk.

This free, one-hour webinar is sponsored by PivotPoint Risk Analytics.
