SUMMARY:WEBINAR: The State of the Nation Cyber Webinar Series Part 1 - Cyber Risk Quantification
DESCRIPTION:Join Gallagher for part one of this year’s State of the Nation Cyber Webinar Series – Cyber Risk Quantification – Measuring the Cost of Cyber Risk Exposure. \nHow much should we invest in a new security control? What level of cyber insurance coverage do we need? Are we reducing the amount of cybersecurity risk within our business\, and if so\, by how much? \nCLICK HERE TO BOOK YOUR FREE PLACE TODAY\nThese are questions that boards around the world are struggling to answer in the current environment. Traditional qualitative methods of measuring the level of cyber risk within an organisation currently do not provide accurate enough information to answer these questions.

That’s where cyber risk quantification comes into its own. \nIn this webinar\, Gallagher cyber specialists will discuss this burgeoning field of risk quantification\, and explore: \n\nWhy traditional Cyber risk ‘heat maps’ are not up to scratch.\nWhat Risk Quantification involves\, and the methodology that it employs.\nHow small amounts of information and data can still provide key insights.\nHow Risk Quantification can help guide business decisions\, including control investment and insurance limits.\n\nThe key takeaways from this session will include how business leaders can use risk quantification to aid in their decision-making and leverage the Gallagher Cyber Risk Quantification service to provide key insights into the level of risk they face\, and where investments could make the biggest difference. \n\nSpeakers\n\n Johnty Mongan\, Head of Cyber Risk Management at Gallagher\n John Clarke\, Consulting Manager\, Cyber Risk Management at Gallagher\n\nFormat\n\nPanel discussion followed by audience Q&A.
