This podcast addresses the state of the cyber response to these attacks as well as the U.S. governments National Cyber Security Strategy and the FBIs recently announced heightened proactive strategy to disrupt ransomware threat actors. Questions remain as to whether these actions will lead to a decrease in the number of ransomware attacks that business entities sustain, or whether an increase in ransomware attacks will occur as a result of the decentralization of the threat actors. The presenters also discuss how these actions could affect the claims and underwriting environment for insurers and their insureds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You can listen to the podcast episode above or for easy access on the go, listen to the podcast on the <a href=\"https:\/\/plusweb.org\/news\/plus-connect-app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PLUS Connect App<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<!-- \/wp:post-content --><\/div>\r\n<!-- \/wp:columns -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Current State of Ransomware Attacks in 2023 Ransomware attacks continue to&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":20180,"template":"","business-line":[41],"topic":[29],"class_list":["post-20169","podcast","type-podcast","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","business-line-cyber-liability","topic-professional-liability-pl-insurance"],"acf":{"release-date":"20230406","episode":"2","audio-embed":"<div id=\"buzzsprout-player-12600587\"><\/div><script src=\"https:\/\/www.buzzsprout.com\/1312540\/12600587-managing-cybersecurity-threats-in-2023-episode-2.js?container_id=buzzsprout-player-12600587&player=small\" type=\"text\/javascript\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>","speakers":[{"headshot":19808,"name":"David J.
