LIABILITY PROTECTION
Welcome to the 13th issue of Risk & Business Magazine!
This has been a big year for us as we celebrate the 50th
Anniversary of Benson Kearley IFG!
Benson Kearley IFG is committed to being a best-in-class
insurance brokerage and promises to deliver the expertise
and coverage to protect your business in these rapidly
changing times.
Our experience in the past couple of years has shown us
that Cyber Security issues are now the biggest threat to your
business. Not just the high profile examples that we hear
about on the news, but many of our clients are experiencing
an increased number of claims for Data Restoration, Business
Interruption, Extortion & Ransom, Cyber Theft, Privacy
Breach, Social Engineering, and Reputational Damage.
We are excited to announce that Brenda Fletcher has joined
our firm as our Cyber Risk Specialist.
Brenda has an extensive background in this area having
joined us from a multi-national insurance company
working in the Cyber Claims Department. Her considerable
knowledge of the technological landscape will allow us to
identify and protect your business from the risks you are
exposed to.
We are committed to being an industry leader in Cyber
Insurance and the expertise Brenda brings with her
will further enhance our ability to provide the most
comprehensive client experience.
Sincerely,
