Protecting our data and that of our businesses from cybercriminals has never been more important. Protecting against vulnerabilities becomes even more important as homes and businesses become smarter and connected via the Internet of Things.

Cyber insurance can be a great way to mitigate the financial loss and hardship that cybercriminals cause. The Horizon group is hosting a premier cyber security conference on Wednesday, march 29, 2023 at the Delta Hotel Winnipeg by Marriott, 350 Saint Mary Avenue.

The conference will provide attendees with the most information possible on Cybersecurity. Industry-leading experts around the globe will share their expertise on various topics related to the industry.

The conference is worth four Insurance Council of Manitoba credits (I.C.M.). The insurance industry needs to be educated. This is why continuing education credits are accredited. Participants will be given breakfast and lunch for the full day. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with industry experts and gain valuable insight into the latest trends and strategies in Cybersecurity.

Attending both the morning session and the afternoon session will allow attendees to receive up to five free IP scans by TDSYNNEX in order to identify any critical factors that require fixing before cybersecurity insurance can be sold.

Cybersecurity breaches are becoming a daily reality. Data breaches on social media, via email and phone phishing scams have become more common. In response, insurance companies are increasingly providing better coverage for cyber security breaches. Cyber insurance helps protect against financial losses such as lost revenue and legal fees. It can also help with the recovery after a data breach.

“Protecting your intelligent home is more than just convenience. It’s also a matter for security.” Steven Benzelock, Director of Growth at Horizon said that a robust cybersecurity plan was essential to protect your financial and personal information from malicious attacks.

Cybersecurity policies can cover a variety of incidents including ransomware and data breaches. The policyholder can tailor their coverage to suit their needs. Some policies even offer access to experts and resources to help individuals and businesses recover from an attack.

The Horizon Cybersecurity Conference can give you valuable insight into the Cybersecurity Industry and the resources that are available to protect businesses and individuals from cybercriminals. The conference is Winnipeg’s first stop in a four-leg trip across Canada. Other stops include Saskatoon Calgary and Vancouver. Anyone in the Insurance industry, Cybersecurity or interested in protecting their data is encouraged to attend this conference.

Cyber-attacks are on the rise, and it is important to take cyber security seriously. We must take the necessary steps to safeguard our digital assets, as well as our families and businesses. We can reduce the risk and protect ourselves against cyber-threats by attending Cybersecurity Conferences, seeking professional advice and purchasing cyber insurance. Take proactive measures to protect yourself and your business.
