fastTrack webinar - Ransomware Response: Build Your Risk Playbook

Ransomware is no longer just a costly cyber event; it is a critical test of leadership and strategy. The difference between a contained incident and a multimillion-pound crisis often depends on the quality of the response plan.

Designed for the next generation of risk and insurance professionals, this session moves beyond the headlines to provide a practical view of ransomware and a roadmap for response. We will explain what ransomware is, the financial drivers behind it and the typical stages of an incident, from detection through resolution.

Delegates will gain an insider's view of what happens during a live response, including who joins the 'war room', how brokers, carriers, legal counsel and internal teams work together, and where the risk manager can add value. We will also break down common insurance terms, explain key coverage triggers and share the essential questions to ask a broker or carrier before an incident occurs.

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

• Explain what ransomware is and why it can drive outsized losses relative to claim frequency.
• Describe the typical stages of a ransomware incident, from detection through resolution.
• Identify the core stakeholders involved in a response and their general responsibilities.
• Explain common insurance terms and coverage triggers relevant to ransomware.
• Compile key questions to ask a broker or carrier before an incident occurs.
