Incident Response – Breaking Down the Roles of the Insurer, Insured, and Counsel

Many businesses have cyber insurance to cover themselves in the event of an incident. Fortunately, for a lot of them, however, they may not have needed to use it…just yet. Join this panel presentation to learn how cyber insurance impacts an organization’s incident response efforts. Panelists will be talking about the role of carriers, outside counsel, and third-party vendors during a security incident, and how cyber insurance may (or may not) alter an organization’s response. Key issues to be covered include:

• The role of insurance carriers during incident response.
• Selection of outside counsel and third-party vendors-can businesses rely on their trusted advisors or do carriers get the final say?
• The obligations of outside counsel and third-party vendors to insurance carriers and the insured.
• Privilege concerns when carriers are involved.

Troutman Pepper attorneys will be joined by Linda Comerford, the AVP of Cyber Services and Incident Response at AmTrust, and Kayla Barker, the Director of Incident Response at Tetra Defense.
