The Long-Term Care Insurance (LTC) landscape is evolving rapidly with new product innovations, growing state legislative activity, and increasing employer interest in LTC as part of a broader financial wellness strategy.

In this webinar, hosted by Cottingham & Butler and UnRavl, cyber specialists will pull back the curtain on the misconceptions and blind spots that leave businesses vulnerable and underinsured. We'll walk through the real-world consequences of application inaccuracies that lead to denied claims, explain how threat actors can sit silently inside a network for weeks before striking, and break down what a ransomware response actually looks like. We'll also challenge two of the most dangerous assumptions in cyber risk today: that compliance means you're protected, and that cloud storage means you're safe. Whether you've had a cyber policy for years or you're evaluating coverage for the first time, this session will give you the clarity to make smarter decisions before an incident forces your hand.
