DALLAS—International Risk Management Institute, Inc. (IRMI), will host the IRMI Cyber & Privacy Risk Conference, focused on technology, privacy, and cyber risk management and insurance, on July 20–21, 2011, in San Francisco. The conference is designed for risk managers, agents, brokers, underwriters, adjusters, attorneys, and others who must understand, mitigate, or insure the complex exposures arising from the use of technology in business.

The Cyber Risk Conference agenda of 2 full days will cover these topics:

  • Cyber Risk and Privacy—Where Is the Market, and Where Is It Headed?
  • Network Security, Information, and Privacy Risk
  • Contractual Risk Transfer Strategies
  • Emerging Risks from New Technologies and Social Networking
  • Insurance Underwriter Perspectives and Prognostications
  • Planning a Data Breach Response
  • 10 Ways To Tailor Cyber Coverage for Large Companies
  • Cyber Risk Management and Insurance Options for Middle Market Businesses

Each of the eight sessions will be presented by a nationally known insurance brokerage, underwriting, or legal expert who has spent years working in this specialized field. They will focus on giving you practical strategies and tactics you can use to make certain your organization is (or your clients are) properly insured against cyber, privacy, and technology risks and well positioned to respond to any incidents that occur.

IRMI president Jack P. Gibson said, “Every business, governmental entity, or nonprofit institution in America is now extremely dependent on technology and the Internet. The risks of technology errors and omissions, data breaches, and website or Internet service disruptions are so pervasive and extreme that they threaten the very survival of many organizations. Unfortunately, many companies are not properly insured against the risks and wholly unprepared to respond to incidents. This conference will help risk professionals properly manage and insure these risks.”

The registration fee is $699 before June 16, 2011, and $799 thereafter. To learn more, please visit http://www.irmi.com/conferences/cyber-risk/default.aspx, or call (800) 827–4242.
