Episode description

Hello and welcome to the latest episode of the Leadership in Insurance Podcast where this week we are lucky enough to be joined by Chris Finan, COO of cyber security start up ActZero.AI.  

The California based start up ActZero uses Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to increase the likelihood of identifying and preventing attacks while reducing the duration and impact of incidents should they occur, as well as helping to remediate vulnerabilities and mitigate risks so their customers can focus on their core competencies and driving business growth. 

We had a great conversation this week where we discussed a wide range of topics such as:

• Are smaller companies aware of the risks that they are exposed to?
• Targeting the smaller to midsize companies - is this the key differentiator?
• How contextualising risk is key
• The challenge of education at scale
• Where do cyber security and insurance meet?
• Defining the outcomes of risk mitigation
• What roles do partnerships play for ActZero?
• How important is transparency?
• The challenge of protecting against an ever-evolving threat
• How do you engage with your end consumer in a meaningful manner?
• How covid and remote working shifts a small business’ cyber protection needs
• What is and isn’t a cyber threat nowadays?
• Will the insurance industry be able to keep up to speed to continue to protect against cyber threats?
• How has the pandemic impacts ActZero?
• Empowering teams
• Encouraging a creative approach to problem solving
• What’s next for ActZero in 2022?

Thank you Chris for your time, it was great to speak to you!
