Expecting the Unexpected: Cyber Lessons from COVID and What Could Be Ahead
What is the biggest lesson that cyber insurers should carry into 2021 after a year in which the COVID-19 pandemic took center stage?
In the first Insuring Cyber podcast episode of the new year and the fifth overall, Tim Zeilman, vice president and global cyber product owner at Hartford Steam Boiler (HSB), discusses how lessons learned from the coronavirus pandemic and from recent significant cyber attacks are more related than insurers may think.
“I think the lesson is pay attention and learn the lessons of the close calls,” he tells Insurance Journal’s Elizabeth Blosfield. “So when you think about the COVID-19 pandemic that we’re in the midst of right now, it’s not the first one. We had inklings that things like this might happen.”
One of the biggest and most transformational moments in the Florence Griswold Museum’s history happened 20 years ago, when it received the gift of 190 works by Connecticut artists from the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company.
The Florence Griswold Museum was established to highlight the work and history of the Lyme Art Colony. That art colony, of course, was centered at the turn of the 20th century at the Old Lyme boarding house that was run by Florence Griswold and that is now part of the museum.
The Lyme Art Colony members were mostly male and mostly white, and their focus in their painting tended to be landscapes, notes Jenny Parsons, the museum’s associate curator.
