Episode description 

39% of UK businesses experienced cyber attacks last year, and of these businesses, 31% estimate they were attacked at least once a week (DCMS). In the US, 47% of businesses suffered an attack (Hiscox). In today’s climate, where cyber risk is no longer talked about in terms of “if,” but “when” … what does that do to a business’s insurability? What can leaders do to prepare… and protect their assets? Strategy for Breakfast is asking all the questions as we bring in co-founder and CEO of CyberSmart, Jamie Akhtar. Let us know what you think at [email protected]. 

Discussion points 

• If cyber incidents are an inevitability, are businesses becoming uninsurable? 
• Cyber insurance is one part of a risk program. How big of a piece is it, and what else should leaders be focused on? 
• People: the weak link or your best defence?
