USI Insurance Services: Understanding Cyber Risk and Cyber Insurance
Source: USI Insurance Services, September 2026
Protecting Your Business from the Financial Impact of Cyber Risk
Graphic Media Alliance is pleased to welcome USI Insurance Services as one of our newest members and an additional resource for companies evaluating their insurance coverage and risk management strategies.
Cyber risk is an increasingly important part of that conversation. While strong IT systems, cybersecurity practices, employee education, and technology safeguards are critical to helping prevent an attack, businesses should also understand the potential financial impact of a cyber incident and how cyber insurance fits into their overall risk management strategy.
As part of its educational outreach, USI is inviting GMA members to attend an upcoming webinar:
The New Face of Cybercrime: AI-Powered Threats and How to Defend Against Them
September 23, 2026 | 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. EDT
Artificial intelligence is giving threat actors new ways to launch faster, smarter, and increasingly convincing attacks. This webinar will provide insight into emerging cyber threats, how criminals are using AI, and safeguards organizations should consider as they work to protect their businesses.
Business owners, executives, and IT professionals will leave with actionable steps to help address today's evolving cyber risks.
The webinar will feature Steve Stasiukonis, President of Secure Network Technologies, who specializes in social engineering and understanding how threat actors exploit human behavior alongside technology to compromise organizations.
