1.

What was the reason that led you to join the Certified Cyber Insurance Specialist
(CCIS) course?
Cybersecurity is an area that is rapidly permeating every business that relies its
operation on digital technology. As R. Mueller has once stated: “There are only two
types of companies – those that have been hacked and those that will be”. Meaning that
cyber-Insurance has recently been in the spotlight and this trend will continue to grow
due to broad digitalization. However, being involved in this industry requires strong
technical background not only to understand the needs of the potential client but to also
speak the same language with them. Despite my academic background in engineering
and my experience in the insurance industry, there has been a gap due to specific
terminology used in the Cyber world. Realizing that the Certified Cyber Insurance
Specialist (CCIS) course could be a vital tool in bridging this gap, there were no second
thoughts in registering and attending it.

2. What sets this cyber insurance course apart from other cyber insurance programs?
The key factor that distinguishes the Certified Cyber Insurance Specialist (CCIS) from
other similar programs is its innovative platform including illustrative presentations, spot-
on examples, interesting videos, and well structured chapters, which could easily be
comprehended by someone, who has just has just been introduced tothe magic world of
Cyber Insurance. Besides this, I could not omit the continuous support of the experts,
whowere there not only to motivate us, but to discuss all of our concerns or questions
,which might have derived.

3. What doors have been opened for you as a result of the course?
With the graduation of this course and with the knowledge and the tools I have acquired,
I can undoubtably participate and lead cyber conversations without any hesitation. This
has inspired me, fueled me with confidence and made me set foot in an alleged complex
cyber world (and enabled me to create my message of influence). Thanks to this course,
I also had the chance of getting to know various inspiring people of different
backgrounds, who helped me broaden my horizon extensively.

4. Can you state one or two unique tools/inputs you received from this cyber insurance
training?
The most invaluable tool I have ,now, is the confidence to discuss in face-to-face
meetings with the CISOs/DPOs/CIOs,by speaking the same language and fully
understand the whole concept of cyber security and any potential risksthat might
arise.Consequently, I do believe that I can now excel as a Cyber Insurance Broker and
contribute to the proper assessment of the risk.

5. Would you recommend the CCIS course to your colleagues?

It is without doubt the most well-rounded cyber insurance course.I would highly
encourage my colleagues to under take it, and recommend it to everyone that is
involved withcyber insurance industry or any other cyber activities.

6. Where do you see the Cyber Insurance Market in your territory in the next 3 years?
Cyber Insurance is an emerging industry in Greece. Companies that purchase cyber
insurance today, are considered to be early adopters. Especially now that essential
changes have driven the focus away from privacy-related incidents to topics such as
business interruption and cyber-crime. 2020 was unlike any other year, with the Covid-
19 outbreak and the recent shift to remote working. What should also be noted is that
ransomware attacks are becoming more targeted and complex. The aforementioned
facts have raised the awareness for the cyber insurance product. Soon, an increasing
number of companies will be attracted to the Cyber Insurance Market. This is due to the
fact that cyber threats keep evolving, and affect most of the businesses that rely on
digital technology and are vulnerable to cyber-attacks.

Recommendation:
Thank You for this amazing journey! This will undoubtedly be an important asset for my
career as a Cyber Insurance broker. Fun and learning do not always go hand in hand.
But this has been such a joyful experience.
