Cyber Insurance and the Incident Response Plan: How to Coordinate Your Defenses to Cyberattacks
Cyber insurance and an incident response plan are two items you must have if you want to mitigate the risk of a cyberattack, regardless of the size of your business or firm. Not only should you have them, but you need to understand how they interact with each other. Cyber insurance varies from policy to policy and can include terms that can significantly affect or even override your incident response plan if they are not coordinated. Join Heidi Fessler for a discussion of how these elements interact and how you can develop a plan that maximizes the benefits of both.
