Op-ed: PIA Partnership?s Cyber 101

Independent insurance agents need to have the same level of expertise and competence about cyber insurance that they have in other areas of risk and insurance. That’s according to PIA Executive Vice President & CEO Mike Becker, in an opinion article [Putting Cyber in Proper Perspective] appearing in PC360 and the National Underwriter.

“As bad as they are now, cyber attacks are only likely to increase, making it all the more important for independent insurance agents to have the knowledge and the tools they need to help their clients protect themselves,” says Becker. “That’s why PIA National joined together with our carrier council, The PIA Partnership, to unveil a new, comprehensive educational resource: Cyber 101, available to PIA members and agents appointed by carriers participating in The PIA Partnership.”
