My longtime colleague Brad Serf often says, “I’ve told myself I would never be the old guy unable to adapt, wary of change, and pessimistic about the outcome; who wants to be around that guy?” I share his aspiration.

As insurance products go, cyber is in its youth. It’s a teenager, about 15 years old for argument’s sake.

However, as businesses of all types and sizes moved to the cloud and SaaS replaced in-house software on a LAN, more and more business processes were automated, and more data was accessible from anywhere.

In his book, The Power of a Positive Team, Jon Gordon addresses how teams face or react to the world around them. Circumstances and events happening around a team are not meant to define them. The team is meant to define its circumstances. The power of the team is on the inside, and when a team knows this and lives by it, it will create amazing and positive changes on the outside.

One of the most misunderstood types of business insurance is management liability, or as it’s also called, executive liability. It’s comprised of directors’ & officers’ liability (D&O), employment practices liability (EPL), and fiduciary liability.
