Why you should NOT call yourself an MSSP.
Insurers are getting scared of MSPs calling themselves an MSSP. The impact is declining insurances and increasing premiums. So why is that? What can I do about it?
A not-to-be-missed discussion led by Cybersecurity Insurance member SherpaTech, Sherpatech.com.au, with legal perspectives in this subject area by Dudley Kneller, Partner at gadens.com.
Have you ever had a cybersecurity incident to manage for your own or a customer's business and assumed the cybersecurity insurance would cover you, but had your claim rejected?
This discussion will help shed light on the way insurance companies view MSSPs and the steps you can explore taking to minimise the chances of a claim being rejected.
