JLT Cyber Risk Consortium Explores the New Era of Business Risk

JLT Specialty USA, a U.S. subsidiary of Jardine Lloyd Thompson Group plc. (JLT), the world’s leading specialist advisor and broker, is pleased to announce a new addition to the JLT Cyber Risk Consortium. 

JLT Cyber Risk Consortium is a resource that includes research, and resources including a select group of advisors and technology providers, who develop and implement best-in-class solutions to manage and mitigate cyber risk.  JLT has launched its newest cyber research and thought leadership in collaboration with the custom publishing arm of Business Insurance. 

This project also features a JLT sponsored research report by Harvard Business Review Analytic Services that explores how organizations are responding to cyber security threats, and how they are fundamentally changing their practices.

“It is a priority for us to discuss business challenges with our clients.  Cyber is a business risk versus only a technical risk” said Pat Donnelly, President & Deputy-Chief Executive Officer at JLT Specialty USA. “The JLT Cyber Risk Consortium allows us to better explore where businesses have an opportunity to improve on how they plan, prepare and ultimately manage cyber risk.”

The insights and research published as part of the JLT Cyber Risk Consortium will inform risk decision-makers about the strategic business risks inherent in cyber events. A threat that is global, dynamic, pervasive and growing cannot be combated by a single individual or department. Assessing and responding to the business impact of these threats requires cooperation and collaboration at all levels. Viewing cyber risk as strategically important is a first step in aligning an organization’s leadership and resources to mitigate the impact.
