Cyber risks seem to be in the national headlines week after week. Recently credit reporting agency, Equifax was hacked and it is estimated that 143 MILLION Americans could have critical private information (such as social security numbers) compromised. On this episode of Profiles in Risk, I discuss cyber risks with Amit Rai of Cyber Boxer. An insurtech startup, based in India, on what is cyber risk, what are the most common types, how we can prevent them and we also get into the Indian startup scene and how that compares to the tech scene in the Valley.

In this episode of Profile in Risk, I speak with Kevin Grudzien (pronounced Groo-Jean, as in blue jean). Kevin is a forensic accountant who specializes in reconstructing business interruption losses. Business interruption claims are some of the most difficult to adjust in insurance. Kevin and I discuss why that is, and what companies can do to make sure they have the proper BI coverage and to avoid painful BI claims. We also jump into Contingent Business Interruption, careers in forensic accounting and the opportunities that exist for insurtech to streamline this one adjusting niche.

I was very fortunate to be able to spend a few days at Plug and Play in Silicon Valley. My company was part of the lucky cohort that was invited to pitch. Here is a description of Plug and Play:

Recently I had to complete an application for Errors and Omissions Insurance (E&O) for my startup. Unfortunately for me, the application required me to download, print, complete, sign, scan and email back to the broker. I then had to re-answer several questions by email. A very inefficient process and one fraught with potential errors for insurance agents.

Mike Furlong aims to fix this. In this episode of Profiles in Risk, I interviewed Mike Furlong of Indio Technologies and we discussed his anti-Sisyphean quest to help agents break their dependence on paper applications and other unstructured data. We also go into some of the ups & downs of creating a startup
