Information
Cyber remains one of the fastest-evolving risks for UK businesses, but it’s still misunderstood, under-prioritised, or ignored for many SMEs.
Recent high-profile UK cyber incidents have brought the issue into sharper focus, highlighting not just the financial costs but the operational disruption, reputational damage, and long-tail impact of attacks.
This fireside chat will explore what brokers need to know about the real-world consequences of cyber risk to build meaningful client conversations. It will then move into practical guidance on how brokers can confidently frame the value of cyber coverage and services, bridging the knowledge gap, positioning cyber as essential protection, and showing how claims and resiliency support make a difference in practice.
- Lessons from recent UK incidents – understanding the operational, reputational, and financial fallout of cyber attacks.
- Why SMEs underestimate their exposure – the common misconceptions and barriers to engagement.
- What to look for in a cyber policy – cover essentials that brokers should be confident in highlighting to clients.
- Framing the value of coverage and services – turning real-world risks into compelling conversations.
- Claims and resiliency in action – how post-incident support can make the difference between recovery and long-term damage
