About the course
Cyber criminals are constantly evolving their tactics, shifting their focus from technology alone to people, digital assets, and operational disruption. This course examines three of today's fastest-growing cyber threats: Cryptocurrency Crime, Social Engineering, and Ransomware. You'll learn how criminals exploit irreversible cryptocurrency transactions, manipulate employees through deception and urgency, and use ransomware to disrupt operations and extort businesses. The course explores the insurance coverage available for these exposures, including cyber, crime, and specialized digital asset policies, while emphasizing the importance of multi-factor authentication, verification procedures, secure backups, incident response planning, and strong internal controls. By the end of this course, you'll be better prepared to identify emerging cyber risks, explain appropriate insurance solutions, and help clients build a stronger prevention, response, and recovery strategy in an increasingly digital business environment.
