General Insurance Article - Cyber security conference highlights threat for insurers

 Leading IT consultancy to Northdoor will today speak at ‘The Evolving Cyber Threat Landscape’ meeting taking place in the Lloyd’s Building. Recent high-profile attacks have put cybercrime and cyber-terrorism firmly on the board agenda of insurance firms. Today’s seminar aims to shed further light on these threats and increase understanding of this emerging landscape within Lloyd’s of London and London market affiliated companies.

 Rob Stavrou, commercial director for integrated solutions at Northdoor, comments:

 “Cybercrime is now a major concern for the insurance sector. The explosion of new technologies has certainly opened up firms to a host of new threats, but has also armed insurers with weapons with which to combat these dangers. For example, we have recently partnered with cyber security assessment specialist 24 Lockdown in order to provide combined IT security solutions for clients in the global insurance market. Such collaborations that provide innovative offerings will help insurers to better understand and confront the cybercrime threat.”
