Cyber Insurance & RIAs: How to Avoid a Denied Claim When It Matters Most

Starkweather & Shepley’s Financial Institutions Practice Leader, Jessica Thayer was recently invited to join Visory in a discussion on cybersecurity and cyber liability insurance.  

Cyberattacks are more than just an IT problem — they’re a business risk with real financial consequences. For Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs), even strong cybersecurity measures aren’t always enough.
