Cyber liability attacks continue to occur at lightning speed, and they grow more complex and sophisticated. If you sell cyber security coverage, do you feel prepared to assess clients’ risks adequately and provide them with the correct coverage remedy? To date, many of the cyber coverage classes only address the basics, but they did not provide the in-depth knowledge and tools needed to fully understand and confidently offer this vital coverage to insureds. After this class, you should be prepared with the knowledge to examine your clients’ cyber security exposures, then obtain the appropriate limits and coverage for their unique situations.
