Cyber insurance renewals are tightening, yet most risk transfer strategies still assume yesterday’s threat model.
The situation this course is for
Organizations in critical infrastructure face a growing mismatch between their cyber liability coverage and actual attack surface exposure. Underwriting scrutiny is increasing, exclusions are expanding, and compliance frameworks like NERC CIP don’t automatically translate to policy approval. Without a proactive strategy, teams risk paying premiums that don’t match real protection, leaving leadership exposed when incidents occur.
Who this is for
Senior risk and compliance leaders in energy, utilities, and industrial sectors managing cyber liability, insurance procurement, and regulatory alignment
Who this is not for
Entry-level IT staff, generalist consultants without infrastructure experience, or vendors selling point solutions
What you walk away with
- Map current cyber insurance policy terms to active threat vectors and control maturity
- Identify coverage gaps tied to third-party access, supply chain exposure, and incident response obligations
- Align NERC CIP and similar compliance efforts with underwriting requirements
- Build a defensible risk transfer strategy that supports board-level decisions
- Negotiate from strength using a documented, audit-ready cyber liability posture
