The Security Issues Pocket Guide Has Arrived!

Author: Ron Berg

We are excited to share an agent resource we have been working on since early this year. Thanks to the work of the ACT Security Issues Work Group led by Steve Aronson, we have created both a high-level Pocket Guide and a companion reference Summary Guide addressing the top security issues agents and brokers need to grapple with.

These resources were created by the Security Issues Work Group and vetted by industry leaders, legal staff, and the IIABA Communications department.

The Pocket Guide:

Note: We’ll have printed copies of the Pocket Guide available at the Oct. 2 ACT Meeting in New Orleans. If you have not yet made your meeting and hotel reservations, we encourage you to do so NOW – Registration Link.

With security and cyber issues changing and escalating so rapidly, the Security Issues Work Group will need to develop a process to keep these resources updated. We welcome any comments and suggestions you may have. We believe this provides a very useful resource to the industry!
