MFM -- Ukraine War Stymies Cyber Attackers, But Threats Still Way Up Over 2019 (Video)

The number of cyber security breaches has exploded by over 200% since 2019, and the danger is still very clear and present. But many threat actors have been caught up in the Ukraine war. That's a key reason why cyber-attack insurance claims are down about 40% in 2022 over last year, so far. At the same time, insurance coverage is much more costly and difficult to procure than it once was. That's according to Brendan Hall, an expert in cyber security. Hall spoke with MediaVillage Knowledge Exchange Editor Janet Stilson about what companies currently face, and how they can better protect themselves from malicious attacks. This interview updates information in Hall's article that was published in the July/August issue of The Financial Manager magazine.
