CYBER

It's 9 a.m. on a Tuesday. An urgent wire transfer request lands in your CFO's inbox - from the CEO. The voice memo attached sounds exactly right. The email looks exactly right. There's just one problem: none of it is real.

Welcome to the new face of cyber crime. And if your clients don't have a plan, the clock is already working against them.

Here's the uncomfortable truth that Kip Boyle wants every insurance professional in that room to sit with: most policyholders make their worst decisions in the first hour of a cyber incident — not because they're careless, but because they're unprepared. Panic sets in, decisions get rushed, and a bad situation gets significantly worse. It happens more than anyone in this industry wants to admit.

That's exactly the problem Kip is bringing to InsuranceFest 2026 - and he's not pulling any punches.

Attendees aren't just sitting through slides. They're stepping directly into their customer's shoes during a live Business Email Compromise scenario - complete with a deepfake AI twist that is uncomfortably realistic. This isn't a hypothetical. It's an experience, and the kind that sticks with you long after you've left the room.

But here's what makes the session genuinely valuable: nobody walks out empty-handed. Every attendee leaves with a completed Incident Response Plan template - a real, practical tool they can take straight back to their book of business and put to work immediately.

Because the best time to build a plan is before you need one. And in a world where AI can clone a voice, spoof an email, and drain an account before lunch, "before you need one" is right now.

Cyber threats aren't slowing down. Neither should your clients' preparedness. Get the scoop at Insurance Fest.
