In our monthly newsletter we bring you perspectives on the business challenges of the day from our global experts.??

Using Data to Prioritize Cybersecurity Investments

In an industry first, Marsh McLennan’s report?Using data to prioritize cybersecurity investments?shows how the use of proprietary claims and incident datasets can help organizations evaluate the impact of their cybersecurity controls. This groundbreaking approach has practical applications in how companies prioritize cyber investments, develop strategic roadmaps on cybersecurity, and obtain cyber insurance.

The report pairs Marsh McLennan’s Cyber Risk Analytics Center’s extensive proprietary dataset of cyber events with hundreds of responses from 达信 ?Cybersecurity Self-Assessment?questionnaires. The two cybersecurity analytics datasets highlight which cybersecurity controls have the greatest effect on decreasing the likelihood of a cyber event.?

Staying Above Water: A Systemic Response to Rising Flood Risk?

Marsh McLennan’s Flood Risk Index highlights how the share of urban areas, rural areas and infrastructure threatened by flooding is approximately set to double in a 2°C warming scenario compared to present-day levels. Bold steps from the public and private sector are needed if society is to shift from a responsive to an anticipatory approach to flood resilience.

Earlier this year, Guy Carpenter ’s Julian Enoize testified on behalf of Marsh McLennan at the House of Representatives Financial Services Subcommittee Hearing on Housing and Insurance entitled: How Do We Encourage Greater Flood Insurance Coverage in America?

The hearing examined the overall level and availability of flood insurance in America, as well as steps to encourage greater deployment of flood insurance coverage.?

“We must address the flood insurance gap. Studies have shown that individuals and communities with flood insurance recover better and faster than those without.”

Colleagues in India Support Families Facing Food Insecurity

Alongside a group of 15 colleagues in the India CIS Tech Team, Gayatri Bagul-Sonar of Marsh McLennan worked with the organization Robinhood Army, to brainstorm ideas and arrange an impactful volunteer day in the Pune region. They bought food essentials including flour, rice, dal, salt, oil, tea and spices, and packaged the items into food parcels then distributed to 63 families in the Yashwant Nagar area. Colleagues spent time speaking with the families living there, listening to their stories and learning about their experiences.?

“It is important to us to support families in need in our local communities; the essential food we distributed will last each family at least a few weeks. The peace and satisfaction on their faces was a blessing to see. For us as colleagues, we really enjoyed spending time getting to know each other better and we now feel closer as a team.”
