Allianz broker webinar

Cyber threats and incident management: practical insights for brokers


Tuesday 31 March | 10-11am

Cyber incidents are an everyday risk for businesses of all sizes, often driven by simple vulnerabilities rather than sophisticated attacks. When an incident occurs, the actions taken during the first few hours can significantly impact the level of disruption, cost and long-term consequences.

In this broker webinar, our in-house experts will explore the current cyber threat landscape alongside the practical realities of managing a cyber incident. Drawing on recent examples, the session focuses on awareness along with the proactive steps and processes that help businesses respond more effectively.

The discussion will cover:

●  common cyber threats affecting UK businesses and why many incidents start with small, avoidable weaknesses

●  what typically happens during the early stages of a cyber incident and where organisations often struggle

●  effective incident response approach including roles, escalation and communication under pressure

●  how to support clients by encouraging stronger cyber hygiene and risk management

●  risks to be aware of within your own operations, from data handling to supplier and system dependencies.

Whether you’re supporting SMEs or managing larger, complex risks, this session will provide practical insights to enhance cyber resilience for your clients' businesses as well as your own.
