Reflecting on an Incredible 13th Annual Cyber Liability Insurance ExecuSummit... A heartfelt thank you to the speakers, attendees, and fellow sponsors who contributed to making this event a tremendous success! The dynamic panels, filled with insightful discussions and lively audience engagement, truly set this conference apart. Another standout moment was gathering as an entire group for a memorable dinner — a fantastic opportunity to connect, reflect, and celebrate our shared commitment to reducing cyber risk. We’re already looking forward to seeing everyone under the waterfall next year! Thanks again to everyone who took the time to connect with Svetlana Evgenevna Braunscheidel, JD, LLM, Jeff Mastalski, and Martin G. #PNGCyber #ExecuSummit #CyberClaims #Conference #Sponsor

Another insightful ExecuSummit panel featuring PNG Cyber's Jeff Mastalski, "Ransomware: Avoidance, Defense, and Claim Strategies." Key takeaways: Ransomware Avoidance? No single control is enough. Leadership buy-in is critical, and a solid response plan is key, but remember, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. Proactive Scans & Threat Intel matter. Non-intrusive scans and dark web monitoring have prevented attacks before they happened. These strategies don’t just help insureds, they help underwriters assess real risk. Cyber Insurance & Misconceptions: Many insureds don’t fully understand their policies, what’s covered, and what’s not. Having pre-breach discussions can prevent costly surprises. And going off-panel can be disruptive, driving up costs and delaying response time. Incident Response: Knowing What NOT to Do ? Preserve evidence—don’t wipe systems or pull cables. ? Engage DFIR experts early—IT firms ≠ forensic specialists. ? One tabletop exercise isn’t enough—incident response must be an ongoing effort, revisited often. Final thought: It’s not if but when. Is your organization truly prepared? #DFIR #PNGCyber #ExecuSummit #Ransomware

A star-studded panel kicks off day 2 at ExecuSummit Cyber Liabilities Insurance with "Artificial Intelligence & Privacy: Balancing Innovation with Compliance." Key Insights Include: AI is already here, and it’s rapidly becoming a fundamental part of business operations. As it continues to evolve, the insurance industry faces important decisions about how to adapt. The discussion isn’t about choosing between control and innovation, but rather how to proceed in a way that balances risk with opportunity. This panel provided a thoughtful, critical discussion on the challenges and considerations surrounding AI adoption. A key point is that AI isn’t a single, monolithic technology. It encompasses a range of tools—large language models (LLMs), chatbots, generative AI, and more. Each has unique capabilities, risks, and use cases, meaning organizations must take a tailored approach to governance, security, and compliance. Cross-functional collaboration with all stakeholders is essential. Governance is a central consideration: Who should be responsible for AI oversight? Should it fall under the General Counsel, the privacy team, or a cross-functional committee? At the same time, CISOs are raising concerns about "shadow AI"—AI tools being adopted without cybersecurity’s awareness or oversight. Data management presents another challenge. Many companies are still refining their data classification practices, making it difficult to control what data is being fed into AI models. The vendor landscape adds complexity as well—Do your vendors use AI? Do your agreements outline how they manage your data, and whether AI is involved? As AI becomes more embedded in the industry, the key question isn’t whether to adopt it, but how to do so responsibly and effectively—recognizing the nuances of different AI technologies and adapting strategies accordingly.
