Tech & Cyber Security Round Table at our London Leadenhall Market office: For the Insurance sector
Reflecting on Our Recent Roundtable Event
Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting a complimentary roundtable breakfast at our Leadenhall Market office in the heart of London. Led by our team—@Jake Ives, Mark Kirby, and Tim King—we welcomed industry professionals from the insurance sector for a dynamic and insightful discussion on some of the most pressing technology and cyber security challenges facing the industry today.
Key Discussion Points
Throughout the session, we explored a range of critical topics, including:
?? Cyber security risks, operational resilience, and best practices
?? Questions to ask your IT team
?? The rise of 'Quishing' – QR code phishing scams
?? AI in insurance – opportunities & challenges
?? The evolving cyber threat landscape
?? Innovative ideas for reducing cyber risk
?? Protecting sensitive data in a rapidly changing digital world
?? The rise of 'Quishing' – QR code phishing scams
A huge thank you to the industry experts who joined us and contributed to these invaluable discussions including:
? David Clamp ? Lisa Rowe, CIP ? Aarti Ajay ? Daniel White ? Douglas Robare ? Robin Muir
The engagement, knowledge-sharing, and forward-thinking discussions made this an event to remember, and we are grateful to everyone who participated.
Spotlight on Quishing – The Emerging QR Code Scam
One of the standout topics from our discussion was Quishing—a fast-growing cyber threat where cybercriminals use malicious QR codes to trick users into giving away sensitive information.
As one of our attendees noted:
"Well, I Didn’t See THAT Coming!”: Quishing, the QR Code Scam Sneaking Up on Us
How to Stay Safe from Quishing Attacks:
??? Protect Yourself: Keep your device’s security settings up to date and use trusted QR scanners to detect malicious links.
?? Trust Your Gut: If a QR code appears suspicious—on a gas pump, an unverified email, or a random flyer—avoid scanning it. Stick to legitimate sources.
?? Spot the Scam: Look for signs of tampering, such as stickers placed over real codes, or offers that seem too good to be true.
?? Act Fast: If you’ve scanned a fraudulent QR code, report it, secure your accounts, and take immediate action to mitigate any potential damage.
Continuing the Conversation
This roundtable was another example of how valuable industry collaboration can be in tackling the evolving challenges of cyber security, AI, and risk management in the insurance sector.
We appreciate everyone who attended and contributed to the discussions. Stay tuned for more insights from our team and future events!
