In this Power Producers Podcast episode, David Carothers speaks with Michael Phillips, who leads the U.S. cyber underwriting practice at CFC. They discuss the state of the cyber insurance marketplace, the evolving risks businesses face due to cyber threats, and how insurers like CFC are addressing these risks. Michael highlights the importance of understanding the continually changing nature of cybercrime, particularly as it relates to geopolitical tensions and the rise of offensive cyber operations. They delve into the role of insurance in providing not just financial coverage but also emergency response services to businesses of all sizes.
