WELCOME
Welcome to our newest issue of Cooke Insurance Risk & Business
Magazine! In this edition, we are focusing on issues related to
computers, cloud computing, and risks your organisation—or
you personally—could be facing without your knowledge.
When I talk to people about cyber-related issues, I find that
most people believe they have their risks covered through
their own combination of hardware, software, and routers.
Unfortunately, the reality is that most cyber-attacks occur by
manipulating employees to divulge confidential information—
termed “social engineering”—rather than through
vulnerabilities in the computer system itself. Since many
employees respond to information requests as a normal course
of business, it’s easy to see how a hacker’s request for sensitive
information could slip by without raising any alarm bells.
We believe the way to minimise security breaches is to fully
educate staff about cyber threats, although we recognise that
no approach is completely foolproof. Toward this end, we are
introducing a Cyber Employer/Employee Education Training
Program, an online system for training employees to recognise
potential signs of fraud. The system includes multiple training
modules, videos, and sessions, and automatically sends progress
reports to management through a custom dashboard. We also
conduct follow-up testing to gauge which employees still may
need further training.
As you look through the magazine, pay attention to any
vulnerabilities you or your company might be facing in the
cyber area. Your best bet is to be proactive in learning all you
can about potential exposures so you can implement programs
to stay ahead of the problem.
