CYBERSECURITY

National Cybersecurity Awareness Month

October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month – a collaborative industry- and government-led effort to continue raising awareness around the importance of cybersecurity. In 2020, our Chief Information Security Officer kicked off National Cybersecurity Awareness Month internally with a video message to employees. The video announced the Cyber Rules of the Road theme of the 2020 campaign, highlighted the current cyber threat landscape and reinforced the critical role each employee plays in safeguarding information. The campaign also introduced the interactive, online Cyber Rules of the Road game for employees to test their cyber knowledge.

In 2021, the Travelers Institute^®, the public policy division of Travelers, marked National Cybersecurity Awareness Month with an educational webinar for independent insurance agents and small to midsized businesses. The program, part of the Wednesdays with Woodward^® webinar series, explored the fight against cybercrime and featured Jeff Klenk, President of Bond & Specialty Insurance at Travelers, and Edward Chang, cybercrimes prosecutor and Assistant U.S. Attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice. Our 2021 Travelers Risk Index report found that cyber threats are the No. 1 concern across all businesses. Despite heightened cyber concerns, only 61% of participants reported feeling extremely or very confident in their companies’ cyber practices. In addition, less than half of survey respondents have adopted basic preventive measures available to companies, such as multifactor authentication, and cyber attacks continue to increase both in frequency and severity. Travelers understands the complexity of cyber threats and continues to be proactive in addressing cyber concerns for business customers.
