“In health care, especially academic medical centers where patient, employee, and student information is stored electronically, there is tremendous concern about data breaches. IT security needs to be up to date and potential system holes or back doors must be identified and plugged.”
1. Michael Browdy, Director of Insurance, NYU Hospitals Center. CLM Fellow since 2007.
“We are faced with cyber risks as a company in general and in claims, in particular, where we face risks due to the many interfaces and connections that we have with our partners. That is the price we pay for integrating and moving ahead.”
2. Fausto Martin, VP and Chief Claims Officer, AAA Michigan. CLM Fellow since 2013.
