Is cyber insurance for you? Bar program sets out the basics
Cybersecurity and Privacy Law Committee presenting Zoom webinar July 17 at noon
With cyber hacking and fraud attempts on law offices skyrocketing due to the use of AI by criminals, the Cybersecurity and Privacy Law Committee is offering a free Zoom CLE training designed to introduce lawyers to the basics of cyber insurance, including how coverage works and what’s needed to get a policy in place.
Register now to attend the July 17 session, “Cyber Insurance 101: What Lawyers Need to Know,” which begins at 12 p.m. The webinar is part of an ongoing series presented by the committee to educate and equip Florida attorneys with practical resources on cybersecurity and privacy.
“Cyber insurance is becoming a critical part of how cyber risks are managed,” says co-presenter Kevin Neslage of CYPFER Global Emergency Response.
Neslage has served on the committee for the past two years and will be stepping into the role of co-chair next month.
“[A]s the legal profession becomes increasingly reliant on technology, we want to make sure attorneys have the knowledge they need to protect their clients and their own practices,” he says.
Co-presenting with Neslage will be Nolan Wilson of Alliant Cyber, and cyber claims counsel Leonard Leveille.
Neslage says the session will provide a practical overview of what cyber insurance covers, how policies are underwritten, and why firms –– especially solo and small practices –– should be paying attention to this coverage as part of their overall cybersecurity strategy. It will share practical insights from both the broker and claims handler sides of the process and help participants understand where cyber insurance fits into risk management to protect their own firms, as well as to better advise clients.
This program has been approved by The Florida Bar for 1.0 hour of General/Technology CLE credit (Course #9259).
