Cyber Risk & Insurance
Services
RCM&D’s cyber risk and insurance team helps you to address the expansive financial and reputation-damaging impacts of a cybersecurity incident by assessing your risk exposures, identifying a plan of action and helping you understand your compliance responsibilities after a breach.
Addressing the Cyber Hard Market
The current cyber market is highly volatile and experiencing a major paradigm shift. Claims activity has been exacerbated in both frequency and severity, mainly by ransomware, negatively influencing Cyber Liability’s profitability for carriers.
The swift shift in the cyber landscape has caused significant disruption for insureds attempting to procure or renew coverages. Our team is closely monitoring these changes and continues to refine our approach to keep clients informed and prepared.
No Business is Safe from Cyber Threats
As our reliance on technology only continues to grow, so does the risk of cyber threats. New cyber threats emerge daily, with ransomware attacks holding businesses hostage and dominating news cycles. From mom and pop shops to Fortune 500 companies, these threats do not discriminate.
