But when it comes to cyber insurance, sceptics aren&#8217;t so sure: some people insist that cyber insurance is a major driver behind ransomware attacks, by encouraging lax habits in companies that assume &#8220;the insurance will cover it&#8221; and emboldening the crooks to demand ever-higher payments. Tune in to find out how you can turn cyber insurance to everyone&#8217;s advantage by using it as a driver to improve your cybersecurity posture.<\/p>\n<p>Further information about the event, including the sign up form, is available on Sophos&#8217; website, here:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/events.sophos.com\/sosweek2021_emea?cmp=131929\">https:\/\/events.sophos.com\/sosweek2021_emea?cmp=131929<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Jason R.C.
