Several industry experts offered their opinions on the discussion as part of the Professional InsurTech Certificate offered by the FinTech Global Academy.

Among them was Phillip Hurni, a computer science tutor at Kantonsschule Sursee, who expressed his opinion that a lot of companies don't really grasp cybersecurity procedures.


"I believe that many people still believe that cybersecurity is just about technology, but it's about much more than that," he said in his explanation. It centers on various individuals and procedures.

"building a tech-savvy and cyber-educated workforce is, in my opinion, the most underappreciated component in building a solid cybersecurity system. You have to keep in mind that a lot of attacks that occur nowadays begin with a person being tricked into clicking a link.

The safeguarding of privileged accounts and privileged access are the other crucial subject. This is where the majority of businesses' cybersecurity weaknesses are evident. Technology can undoubtedly have an impact in this situation, but the processes remain crucial, the speaker said.
