    Phishing is one of the leading cyberattacks worldwide, resulting in numerous social engineering training exercises to train average users to defend against these attacks. This discussion focuses on research that took a pool of users with three different phishing campaigns. Each campaign progressively has a phish that should be more advanced to spot than the previous phish presented. The research shows the psychological reasoning behind why a user will interact with a phish, regardless of educational awareness. Results include why a 0% or 100% report rate is unrealistic and how to use phishing metrics to quantify risk in a business.

    The claims environment remains fraught with cyber threats, particularly ransomware. At the same time, privacy concerns continue to escalate, with a heightened focus on data protection, biometric security, and non-breach privacy claims. Regulatory scrutiny from the FTC and State Privacy Regulators further emphasizes the need for robust cybersecurity measures.

    To effectively mitigate risks, organizations must prioritize controls such as EDR, DLP, privileged account management, and technology product risk management. A proactive approach to third-party risk management and supply chain resilience is also essential. Culture and awareness training play a pivotal role in fostering a security-conscious workforce.

    Maximizing cyber insurance efforts requires collaboration across departments. CISOs should engage with risk managers and legal teams to ensure alignment in coverage discussions and budget allocation. Cyber underwriting exercises can provide valuable insights for business impact assessments and audit committee reviews, fostering a shared understanding of risk and mitigation strategies.
