Insurance Coverage for CISO Liability: Analyzing New Options for Cybersecurity Professionals and Their Companies
A live 90-minute CLE video webinar with interactive Q&A
This CLE webinar will provide insurance counsel with the knowledge to analyze the availability of coverage for claims against Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) under new CISO policies as well as reassess the challenges of finding coverage under traditional company policies such as D&O or E&O policies. The program will analyze the types of claims and liabilities to which CISOs are increasingly vulnerable after a data breach or alleged privacy violation, the impact of this increased risk on companies, how they are responding, and the current and emerging coverage disputes that the new policies are designed to respond to.
