Public Risk Management

Jason McMahon, Risk Manager for Midwest Public Risk, offers insights and preventive strategies for Cyber Incidents. He starts off by answering why we still see so many cyber incidents; explaining that oftentimes it doesn’t become a priority for entities until there’s been an issue. He shares tips that can help in determining if an email is phishing or not and what he’s seen from the claim side that public entities may not be aware of. He emphasizes the importance of educating your staff and having a protocol is necessary as no software or hardware can fully prevent certain aspects of human nature.
