Data breaches are a very serious threat to companies and individuals; their occurrence and impact is increasing drastically year over year. Hackers are looking to steal your financial data, personal information, and intellectual property. Often, the financial and reputational impact of a breach can be disastrous for an organization.
The IRMI Construction Risk Conference is in its 34th year, and this year promises to be bigger and better than ever, with more attendees registered than in recent years. We are looking forward to being part of the action! There are some older and new trends in the industry that we want to hear more about – the country’s aging infrastructure, Alternative Project Delivery and what the insurance industry is now saying about New York Labor Law.
A constant struggle for the risk manager of an organization is balancing the profitability expectations of its shareholders and maximizing operational efficiency of the risk management team in order to reduce the organization’s Total Cost of Risk (TCoR). Having a clear perspective of the organization’s appetite for risk and risk tolerance is a fundamental element needed in order to achieve this balance.
So you are traveling for business or you have finally scheduled a few days away from the office. You pack your bags and are sure to not forget your mobile phone, tablet, and laptop. Now stop for a second and consider the consequences if one of those devices goes missing, is lost, stolen, or even hacked. How much personal or company data would be at risk? Bank account information, e-mails, contact information, confidential business documents. It’s all there for the taking.
One of the most underrepresented and disregarded coverage extensions on a commercial property policy is personal property. That is, Business Personal Property (BPP) – the personal property which is owned by the entity that is the named insured on the policy. BPP covers a variety of items that are typically identified with being owned in relation to the premises identified on the declaration page of your policy. It is not typically intended to insure the personal property of a firm’s employees or guests. Over the course of the last fifteen years there have been several changes to significantly expand the definition of BPP in several different ways. Keep in mind
The recent Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Workshop held by North Carolina State University was chock full of valuable information. It was attended by seasoned risk and audit professionals all looking for ways to improve the effectiveness of their own ERM programs.

While it was never the intent of Winston Churchill that his famous description of Russia’s intentions in 1939 would apply to Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), the analogy applies pretty well. “It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma, but perhaps there is a key.” I firmly believe there is a key to a proper, productive and easily understood ERM program.
Many companies are crossing national boundaries to exploit new opportunities and minimize any potential threats. Globalization brings both opportunities and risks to multinational enterprises (MNEs) doing business in another country, and requires the MNE to have a system in place to detect and respond to these potential threats and challenges.
With the second anniversary of Superstorm Sandy just around the corner, I was thinking back to the whirlwind of media predictions that preceded landfall. Where would it strike? When would it hit? How bad would it be? Forecasters commented over and over that predicting the path of the storm and its ensuing destruction was particularly difficult because nothing like it had happened before. So I was surprised to learn of an even larger storm from 1821: the Norfolk and Long Island hurricane. If the Norfolk and Long Island hurricane were to hit today, its damage would exceed that of Sandy, Rita, Andrew and Katrina.
