Academy Workshop: Beazley’s Risky Business Experience

What if a cyberattack didn’t just breach your systems - it disrupted your entire business ecosystem?

Join us for an immersive, high-impact event where we walk through a real-world-inspired scenario: where a multinational manufacturing firm is hit by a cyber-attack - but the threat actor isn't just after money - it's after maximum disruption.

The result? A cascading crisis that touches every corner of the business - from systems damage to supply chain and infrastructure issues, to executive liability and reputational fallout.

In this session, we will explore:

• How a single cyber incident can trigger multi-line losses.
• Insurance coverages and potential gaps.
• The risk lessons every business should act on.
• Supply chain contagion.

Key risk areas covered:

• Cyber: Breach response, system recovery and monitoring.
• D&O: Governance, regulatory failures and shareholder claims.
• Property: Machinery and infrastructure damage.
• Business interruption: Production halts and contract losses, and breach of contract claims.

Why attend? You’ll gain actionable insights into how to strengthen your risk posture, align coverage with evolving threats, and prepare your organisation for the unexpected.

Who should attend? Risk Managers responsible for protecting business continuity in today's volatile threat landscape.

By the end of the session, you will be able to:

• Uncover the full impact of a cyber attack. Scrutinise how one breach can ripple through your entire ecosystem. From system paralysis to supply chain chaos, governance failures, and reputational collapse – a single incident can ignite multi-line losses that redefine your risk landscape.
• Interrogate your insurance safety net. Assume nothing. Examine how Cyber, D&O, Property, and Business Interruption policies actually respond under pressure. Identify the blind spots before they become expensive lessons, so you can review with brokers and insurers for ways forward.
• Engineer a crisis response that works under fire. Theory is one thing. We’ll review how to build a battle-ready plan that aligns IT, operations, legal, communications and more for rapid identification, containment and recovery. Because when the breach hits, hesitation costs more than the hack.
• Fortify governance to ease liability. Executives, boards, and companies are vulnerable to legal action during major disruptions. We discuss some optimal governance measures that can actively reduce liability and regulatory exposure when scrutiny is at its peak.
• Shape a resilience roadmap that stays ahead of tomorrow's threats. Move beyond reactive fixes. Create an actionable strategy that strengthens your risk posture, handles supply chain risks and disruptions, and ensures your coverage evolves as fast as the threat landscape.
