Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.
The RIMS mission is to educate, engage, and advocate for the global risk community. In alignment with said mission, the annual Florida RIMS Educational Conference is coming back once again! With an incredible agenda and many familiar faces in attendance, this 2022 conference, held July 26th‒30th in Naples, Florida, is jampacked with fantastic sessions, fun after-hours events, and great accommodations.
Joining Justin today to share more about the upcoming conference, is long-time conference chair and Audio/Visual Coordinator, Jason Lynch! Jason shares about the focused events that attendees can look forward to, the special guest speakers that will be in attendance, and more!
In the second half of the podcast, Justin is joined by Dan Healy, a partner at the Anderson Kill law firm in the D.C. office. Dan is currently the co-chair of Anderson Kill’s Cyber Insurance Recovery Group, as well as a member of the firm’s Blockchain & Virtual Currency and Regulated Products groups. He has also co-authored many articles for RIMS Risk Management Magazine and is leading several sessions at the RIMS Florida Educational Conference!
In their conversation, Dan and Justin take a deep dive into Jackware; how it is different from ransomware, why it is an emerging risk that we all need to be aware of, where it emerged from, and how it works. Be sure to tune in to learn everything you need to know about this new, emerging cyber risk!
