This discussion focuses on the critical elements of cyber risk, including the various types of cyber threats, vulnerabilities in supply chain networks, and the potential consequences of cyberattacks on businesses. We emphasize the need for a proactive and comprehensive approach to cyber risk management, which includes robust cybersecurity measures, incident response plans, and, controversially essential, cyber insurance coverage tailored to an organization’s specific needs.
