The Travelers Institute, the public policy division of The
Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TRV), will host its in-person
Cyber: Prepare, Prevent, Mitigate, Restore® symposium today, May
23, in Charlotte. The event is part of a national series that
promotes dialogue and education around helping businesses prepare
for, and respond to, cyber incidents.
“As cyberattacks become more frequent and sophisticated, it’s
essential that companies make a concerted effort to manage these
threats,” said Joan Woodward, President of the Travelers Institute
and Executive Vice President of Public Policy at Travelers. “A
recent Travelers survey found that only 29% of Charlotte businesses
are cyber conscious. We look forward to convening thought leaders
in this space to help provide valuable cyber resources to agents,
brokers and the broader community.”
The event, which will be held at the Harris Conference Center,
runs from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. ET. It features a panel moderated
by Woodward, as well as opening remarks from Mike Arriola, District
Director of the North Carolina District Office for the U.S. Small
Business Administration, and a keynote address from panelist Jay
Gamble, Regional Director of Region 4 at the Cybersecurity and
Infrastructure Security Agency. Other speakers include Tim Francis,
Vice President, Enterprise Cyber Lead at Travelers, and Jennifer
Coughlin, Partner at Mullen Coughlin.
“In this current threat landscape, leaders at every level must
help foster a culture of cyber awareness and resilience throughout
their organizations,” said Gamble. “By training employees on cyber
best practices and creating response plans, businesses can be
better protected when a cyberattack occurs.”
Travelers Institute events are free and open to the public.
