OVERVIEW AND TOPICS


In this session, agents will examine different cyber forms and be able to identify the differences within their insuring agreements, exclusions, and conditions. With over 170 different cyber policy forms in the marketplace, participants will gain better understanding to know which policy is best for the needs of their insureds.
In 2019, there were 15 organized cyber-criminal groups. Today, there are over 100. With the development of Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS), anyone can become an extortionist. This 4-hour course is designed to increase the insurance professional’s knowledge of cyber ransom attacks, the costs, and ways to protect against these attacks. After a brief history of ransomware development, the insurance professional will better understand the current exposures and ways to protect their clients and themselves. The insurance professional will examine how the attack happens and how the threat actor (TA) gets into the computer systems. They will discuss how TAs are using social engineering techniques to gain control of their computer networks and review the different stages of cyber extortion and its complexities. They will identify insuring agreements triggered in a cyber attack and discuss how to insure this rapidly growing exposure.
Using recent professional liability insurance coverage cases, participants will sit as “jurors” in this interactive session. They will review and discuss the facts of each case and compare their decisions to the actual verdict by the appellate court. They will gain a better understanding of exposures and insurance coverages pertinent to both traditional professionals and non-traditional classes of business.
Participants will examine the professional, legal, and ethical responsibilities in dealing with the day-to-day realities of the complex, ethical issues of the insurance industry. They will compare and be able to explain the difference between legal and ethical responsibilities and discuss the foundations of ethical behavior. They will review court cases dealing with the agent as a “professional” along with the agent’s duty to the customer, insurer, and peers. Using a series of case scenarios, they will be able to identify what constitutes an ethical dilemma and apply the ethical principles discussed in this session to determine the right course of action.
The trend toward mainstreaming and legitimizing marijuana is here, and probably the next big thing in agribusiness and retail. With that trend comes a new marketplace, new regulations, and a huge number of insurance questions and issues. Participants will explore the challenges and insurance coverage considerations with insuring cannabis risks - commercial property, general liability, workers compensation, employment practices liability, products liability, homeowners, and professional liability insurance policies.
