9 Award Categories

Cyber Risk Industry Person of the Year 3x
This prestigious award recognizes and shows the entire community’s gratitude to 3 key players in the cyber risk sector who – through dedication, foresight and leadership – have enhanced and developed the treatment of cyber risk through the past year. The three winners will be executives operating in each of the USA, Europe, and the International (AsiaPac, Latin American) Markets.

Cyber Risk Event Response of the year
For companies in today’s global and digital environment, it is increasingly becoming a question of “when?” and not “if?” the subject of cyber breach is discussed. When the worst happens, the teams that offer the support to navigate their client’s way through the event are worth their weight in gold. This award will honor such a team from a live 2014 event example. Nominations are open to all companies who handle the identification, containment, communication, and remediation of a cyber event.

Cyber Risk Pre-Breach Team of the Year
Practice makes perfect… Although a breach is almost a certainty, there is huge value in preparing for the worst, so you can best defend against attackers, but also know what to do in the event of an incident. This award will honor a team or corporation that has successfully prepared and mitigated loss pre-breach. It is open to all companies who handle the disaster planning, cyber security, threat intelligence, and public relations aspects prior to a cyber event.

Cyber Service Vendor of the Year
The winner of this award category will be a corporation or a team who has demonstrated leadership and innovation in providing technology solutions to today’s top cyber risks.

Best Cyber Risk Broking Team
This award recognizes the efforts of a dedicated, innovative broking team that has worked tirelessly in the past year to expand understanding of cyber risk insurance in the wider marketplace. The winner will have expanded the cyber sector either by a new sales technique or initiative, investing in teams of experts, or by having the best take-up rate in the market.
