Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.

 

Even amid the COVID-19 pandemic, cybercrime is a threat that risk professionals need to keep on their risk registers. In this episode, Luke Wilson is joining RIMScast for the second time to discuss the current environment of cyber threats among the coronavirus pandemic. A lot has changed since he and Justin last spoke in October of 2019 so there is much to discuss!

 

As a refresher, Luke Wilson is the Vice President of Intelligence at 4iQ. With over 15 years of working within federal law enforcement, the Department of Defense, and the intelligence community, he brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise. Previous to his role at 4iQ, Luke served as the Vice President of Business at Elliptic and also worked in the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Cyber Division and Counterterrorism Division for over nine years.
