Session Descriptions

Ethics - On Offense: Cyber Attacks and the Legal Implications of Hacking Back

Offensive cyber-attacks have become a focus of the current administration's cyber strategy, but what are the implications? This panel will explore questions of ethics, US law, and insurance coverage including the legality of state-sponsored cyber activity, unintended harms already occurring, and the potential downstream impact on claims and coverage.

Ethics - Managing the People Who Manage Your Claims: Litigation and Ethical Landmines in TPA and Vendor Oversight

Poor TPA and vendor oversight increases risks for documentation gaps, inconsistent claim positions, and expert opinions that can be weaponized at trial. This session offers practical, operations-level guidance on supervising TPAs, vendor controls, expert sequencing, and building internal protocols that reduce bad-faith exposure and protect claim files from becoming trial exhibits.
