Description

Most insurance agencies believe their biggest risks come from cyber threats or compliance requirements. In reality, the greater risk is what hasn’t been identified.

In this Catalyit Live Hot Topic, Walter Contreras of Motiva Networks will explore the hidden gaps that exist in many IT environments — not because businesses are negligent, but because those gaps are rarely uncovered or validated. Drawing from real-world experience examining how IT operations actually function, this session will break down where risk truly lives and why it often goes unnoticed until it’s too late.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why many businesses focus on the wrong areas when it comes to cybersecurity and compliance
• Where hidden risks typically exist within IT environments
• The difference between assumed protection and validated protection
• How gaps form between tools, processes, and responsibility
• What to look for to better understand your current level of exposure

Why It Matters:

• Insurance agencies handle highly sensitive client and financial data
• Regulatory expectations continue to increase
• Business owners remain accountable for security and compliance, regardless of who manages IT
• Many of the biggest risks live in assumptions, gaps, and areas that were never fully evaluated
• Visibility is the first step to reducing real risk and improving confidence in your environment

Things to Think About:

• How confident are you in your agency’s current security and compliance posture?
• Do you have full visibility into how your IT environment is managed today?
• Are your protections actually validated — or simply assumed?
• Who is accountable if something goes wrong?
• What risks might exist in the gaps between your tools, vendors, and internal processes?
