And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters,” Karp said in a CNBC interview Thursday. “And so these disruptions are gonna disrupt every aspect of our society.

Our guest today, Randy Nornes, is the 2025 Harry and Dorothy Goodel Award Winner. [2:29] Named after the first President of RIMS and his wife, the Harry and Dorothy Goodell Award honors an individual who has furthered the goals of risk management and the Society through outstanding service and lifetime achievement. [2:41] Randy Nornes exemplifies all that and more. He has been with Aon for 38-plus years. Currently, Randy is the Executive Vice President and Enterprise Client Partner for Technology, Media, and the Communications Industry. He has done some volunteer work, which we will talk about. [3:00] Randy has a fascinating career. We're going to learn about it as well as his leadership style, his risk philosophy, and how he is keeping Aon at the forefront of AI innovation. [3:09] [If you've been to RISKWORLD, you've seen Randy in the halls and the educational sessions. He has been an ever-present force there. And he is a highly-regarded member of the Chicago RIMS Chapter. Let's get to it! [3:23] Interview! 2025 Goodel Award Winner, Randy Nornes, welcome to RIMScast! [3:44] Randy is proud of that award. He wonders, after receiving a lifetime achievement award, what's next? Retirement? Should he write a book? [4:11] On the day of the award, Randy was backstage with Martha Stewart and had a chance to visit with her and discuss risk management. [4:21] Randy's wife and one of his sons were in the audience. When Martha Stewart came out and spoke, she referred to their conversation. Randy gained credibility at home that Martha Stewart listened to what he had to say! [4:52] Justin says that RISKWORLD 2025 was fantastic! Randy says he has probably attended three dozen RISKWORLD conferences. He says they get better and are different every time. You can see, decade by decade, what's important. [5:31] There is a wonderful profile on Randy Nornes, written by Russ Banham, in the special Awards edition of RIMS Risk Management Magazine. It is still available online. That's how Justin got to know Randy Nornes before this interview. [5:57] Randy always tries to link up with what the next big thing is. Since late 2025, Randy has been leading Aon's AI infrastructure efforts, from the financing of data centers, to the construction, to the development, to the operation, and to the energy attached to that.  [6:28] AI is the next big thing. Randy says that 40% of GDP is coming through the lens of building AI infrastructure. Aon has a big team for it, and that's what Randy does every day. He says it's massive, exciting, and relentless. [7:03] Randy says, Because it's coming so fast and furious, it's not something you have time to sit back and think about. He says we're seeing this thing evolve week by week. It's global. Risk management is at the center of making it all work. [7:27] Randy says there's a different lens depending on where you sit in the AI infrastructure world. Everyone is thinking about the risks of the construction, the operation, the access to power, and the climate. It's all melded into one thing. [7:48] Randy calls the Chicago RIMS Chapter big and vibrant. Chicago is unique in having representation from so many different industries. It's not highly concentrated. People have a lot of lenses to look at risks through. It makes for good conversations. [8:11] Justin notes that last year's Risk Manager of the Year, Jennifer Pack, was from Chicago. The Rising Star, Megan Smalter, was originally from Chicago. Randy has spent time on the West and East Coasts, and he finds the Chicago Chapter unique, with 25 different industries. [8:49] Justin gives a shout-out to Julie Bean, the 2024 Heart of RIMS Award Winner. Justin says Randy is in great company. The talent coming out of Chicago brings something special to RIMS. [9:27] Randy was going to be a banker. A banker manages risk around lending and projects. It's not a huge leap to get to the world of risk management from there. [9:44] In the 1980s, it was a turbulent time for banking. We had just come out of a tough inflationary period, with real estate bankruptcies and banks and savings and loans going under. His advisor told him not to go into banking. [10:18] Randy interviewed someone from Chubb. Chubb was scaling up a new product, Directors' and Officers' insurance. Randy was good at case studies in business school. Underwriting D&O insurance is a case study. Randy thought he could do that job. [10:54] Randy started at Chubb and ended where he is today. In 1987, Randy moved to Frank B. Hall, acquired by Aon in 1992. He was young and a good worker, so he was kept by the company. He says it was a trip working alongside Pat Ryan and learning the business at Chubb. [11:48] Pat Ryan took Randy and others under his wing. He is a great mentor. Randy credits him for access. Randy mentions other early supporters, Al Diamond and Skip Dunn. With Pat Ryan, Randy was always looking for the next big risk to come along or a new framework. [13:00] In the 1990s, governance, Sarbanes-Oxley, and enterprise risk frameworks came to the forefront, following bankruptcies of major companies that had appeared to be successful. [13:28] When enterprise risk became a thing, it needed frameworks. That led Randy to build one of the first enterprise-risk-focused teams to help companies think about it. This was before COSO. [13:55] Randy says a lot of the clients they dealt with in those early days were in industries where someone had already gone through some trauma, and they wanted to make sure they weren't next up. It was a lot of, "Hurry up and make sure we're OK!" [14:26] Randy says, in the 1990s, they were doing risk modeling. The reinsurance teams had risk models that ran on AS400 mainframe computers. They had to book computing time to run a scenario with a set of assumptions. They would run 10,000 simulations in a day. [14:55] If they wanted to change the assumptions, they had to book another time. [15:02] Now it's all on the laptop. The quality of data is significantly higher. They can do it in real time. Risk managers today may not recognize how lucky they are. [15:24] Randy says, We're always trying to decide what problem we're trying to solve for and what we know about that particular issue. The modeling is the entry point to know what to do or what matters. [16:10] Randy thinks risk is a terrible word. We risk professionals have a hard time communicating with people who aren't in our space when we use the word risk. Everyone has a different definition of risk. Randy says everyone can get on board with certainty and uncertainty. [16:34] Randy says, what we're doing with modeling is trying to understand what the distance between certainty and uncertainty looks like. Then, we have to decide what's comfortable and where our tolerance is. Then, decide what to do with the part that we want to get rid of. [16:48] That's at the core of risk management, and it hasn't changed in decades. The tools we have now have changed dramatically. [16:56] Justin cites Christy Kaufman from the profile article, who said that Randy is far more than a traditional broker; he is a thought partner and a problem-solver. Justin asks what allows Randy to move beyond transactional work into a strategic advisory mindset. [17:19] Randy says insurance is a complete waste of money, unless you can show how you're adding value. You can get there by showing this uncertainty spectrum and understanding it. [17:58] Randy says the mindset is, "I've parachuted in. What do we have going on?" If I did that today, I'd be looking at supply chain issues. It's amazing when you have that lens. Early on, he looked at a supply chain that was "perfect, end-to-end" on spreadsheets. [18:27] Everything was manually entered. Managers were judged on average inventory levels, and wanted to keep the levels as low as possible. To game the system, they ran inventory at the lowest level.  [18:57] They would raise the inventory at the end of the month to make it look like they were on target. It was not a real-time inventory. It looked like risk management was fine, but the chance of a stockout or a long-term impact was pretty great. [19:24] A Quick Break!

[21:19] Justin asks how Randy delivers good or bad news to a high-level executive. Randy says he was gifted by his radio announcer father with a very calm demeanor. You're delivering what it is, based on some fact. Randy has had to deliver a lot of crazy facts over the years. [22:29] Early in his career, Randy had a financial institution client. They had some major issues. He was standing outside the boardroom, ready to go in to tell them whether they had insurance or not. They did not. He was on the phone with London, working out some coverage. [23:28] He got the message while he was in there that they had managed to land something for the client, so he could pivot. His colleagues said they couldn't believe how calm he had been, going in. [24:11] Randy says it's best to set the landscape with executives before extra risk is taken, showing alternatives and strategy, so if something happens, it was foreseen, you were just unlucky in that year. [24:53] If you hadn't done the front-end work and gotten everybody onboard to see why it was the right strategy, then the news of unanticipated issues gets a lot harder to deliver. [25:04] There's a lot of front-end work to do. To drop bad news on people without any prep is going to be a lot harder. Being transparent and on the same page, especially with finance people, makes communication easy. This flows up to the CFO and higher. Set the foundation. [25:51] Randy has 100s of people focused on data centers. They have analysts and use AI for some things. There are people from the financial institution vertical, construction, operations, cyber, AI, energy, and renewal. They gather together. It's multidisciplinary, under one umbrella. [27:05] Randy says his leadership style is collaborative. He tries to lift the whole team, orchestrating how it comes together. He lets them have the success they deserve. Randy is a strong proponent of mentorship. It's the secret to his success. [27:50] Randy has worked with some people for his entire career, as clients, colleagues, or competitors, and he stays connected with them. Hundreds of people fit that profile. [28:17] Another Quick Break! The Spencer Educational Foundation's Risk Manager on Campus application period will open on April 1st, 2026, and it will close on June 30th. Grant awardees, colleges, and universities are typically notified in September. [28:43] The Course Development Grant application deadline for Interval Number 2 will be on June 15th, 2026.

[29:18] Let's Conclude Our Interview with 2025 Goodel Award Winner, Randy Nornes. [29:39] Randy worked with Pat Ryan to lead the Risk Management and Financial Guarantee Team for Chicago's 2016 Summer Olympic bid. Randy says when Pat retired as CEO of Aon, he took on this project to head Chicago's Olympic bid. He invited Randy to the project. [30:19] In an Olympic Bid, the city has to sign a Host City Agreement that says they will take on the risks of delivering the Games. There's an effective financial guarantee. Globally, it is often done on a country level. That's not how it operates in the U.S. [30:43] Pat and Randy had to figure out how to de-risk the games so that what the city's guarantee would look like was limited because the team had built insurance and risk management. On the construction side, they had contractors take on risks. [31:03] They created a de-risking model. It was the first time anyone had done that for an Olympic Games. Chicago was not successful, but the work the team did on de-risking the Games became the model that a lot of Western cities took on for their Olympic bids. [32:03] Randy says you start with a line-item budget that the bid team puts out. A big part of it is the construction of venues, living spaces, technology, including massive broadcast bandwidth, tens of thousands of volunteers to transport and train, and secure. [32:35] Randy says they took the line-item budget and worked on each item separately, to create certainty and shrink the distance between certain and uncertain, so that when they put the umbrella guarantee on top of it, it touched a lot fewer things and had a lot more certainty. [33:01] The biggest thing the umbrella policy covered is delivering the Games on a certain date. No delays. All the costs are front-end. If, for some reason, the Games don't happen: terrorism, global war, or pandemic, you're stuck with all those front-end costs. It's the worst case. [33:39] The closer you get to the event, the more risk you have. Then you have the three or four weeks when you're delivering the Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games. [33:49] Randy says it was interesting. They did a white paper on it, "How to De-risk Games." It was done to encourage cities not to be afraid to host the Games. [34:19] Randy says, over the years, when cities in North America are bidding for Winter or Summer, they reach out, and Pat and Randy give them the template. San Francisco, LA, Boston, and Calgary all asked for it. [34:51] Most of the people on the Bid Committee were on the City level. It was Mayor Daley, his staff, and 50 aldermen. Randy says, We gave them lots of transparency into what we were doing. [35:16] Randy says they provided 1,200 pages of material, in 3-ring binders, for each of the aldermen. They also put all the text on discs to search electronically. Later, an alderman called Randy, angry because he couldn't listen to the disc in his car. Randy explained it to him. [3:24] Randy thinks a city should be thankful to host the Olympic Games. They make the city sparkle. The city gets a big influx of outside money. Chicago would have gotten a lot of Federal money. The transportation system would have been upgraded. It would make the city better. [36:49] Randy describes how London and Paris were improved by hosting the Olympic Games. If you're thinking of bidding, it's worth it. Randy wishes Chicago's bid had been successful. [37:33] Justin and Randy comment on the Milan Winter Olympics Opening and Closing Ceremonies. The next Winter Olympics will be on the French side of the Alps. [38:01] Justin says that Chicago is known for its colorful history of notorious characters. [38:45] Justin asks Randy about Project Six. Project Six came out of the Olympic Bid. Seeing corruption in the city government, Randy and a few committee members put together Project Six, referring to the six business leaders who partnered with Elliot Ness to go after Al Capone. [39:44] They set up Project Six as a nonprofit whistleblower organization so people could come to report corruption. They got hundreds of whistleblower tips. They published things and gave information on criminal activity to Federal prosecutors. [40:07] Some things were not criminal but unethical. When the Chicago Cubs were playing in the World Series, public officials paid face value for Cubs tickets instead of the market price. Project Six brought it to the ethics committee, and they changed that practice for tickets. [41:31] Randy says they did not make a lot of friends in public office. Project Six is closed. [41:47] Randy talks about angering a bunch of people in public office. They went after Project Six because they weren't getting whistleblower tips on Republicans. There might have been one Republican commissioner in Chicago. [42:20] Randy says some of the senior people they ruffled went after donors. So it was a better idea to shut it down. It ran for three and a half years. [42:41] Randy says the biggest frustration was how slow things move. It takes years for some convictions to go through. You would like justice to happen faster. Randy hopes that when high-profile people go to prison, others pause to consider. [43:59] Randy gives his advice on what separates a good risk manager or problem solver from a great one. He says not to get too focused on what you did yesterday. Every day, step back and ask, Am I still doing the right stuff? Am I focused on the right thing? [44:26] You have a fixed amount of money to spend to solve your risk problems. You're insuring your buildings for fire, but over time, you've engineered them to be fire-resistant. There is less risk. At the same time, you have AI, cyber risk, and new things that come in. [44:48] Is it better to direct money to solve cyber risk and take on more risk for property? Don't get hung up on what you did yesterday. Stepping back and staying on top of what's happening with the business has never been more important. [45:17] Businesses are transforming before our eyes, and AI is leading the transformation. Make sure you're interacting with your business to stay current on what the business is all about. [46:02] Randy says being at Aon a long time has given him a lot of latitude to do all the things he has done. He can look for new things, cut across the towers that exist and think about risk at the broadest level. [46:40] If you move company to company, you'll step into the new role, fix a few things, and move to the next company. You won't have the latitude to experiment with new things or ask what comes next. You're there because you're needed at that time. [47:07] Randy says, That can be comfortable. But don't get too comfortable and make sure you're staying current. [47:17] We really appreciate you joining us here on the show. I want to wish you congratulations again on the Goodel Award.

Alignment is often underestimated as a single “yes.” Transformation just doesn't work that way.In this week's episode of the Only Constant, Awais Farooq discusses with Nellie Wartoft how real alignment comes from designing for difference: segmenting people by adoption behavior, tailoring communication by role & channel, and using real adoption signals to adjust in real time. They also dig into why top-down cascades miss the people most impacted, how to uncover “what's in it for me” at scale, and why premortems & postmortems are the difference between learning and repeating the same mistakes with new packaging.Awais Farooq is the Chief Claims Officer at Venbrook and a senior insurance executive, transformation strategist, and keynote speaker with nearly two decades of experience across State Farm, Farmers, Chubb, Berkshire Hathaway GUARD, and Crawford & Company.Recognized as a national voice on insurance innovation and claims transformation, Awais has spoken at leading industry conferences and executive leadership forums. His thought leadership has been featured in The Wall Street Journal and PropertyCasualty360. He holds the CPCU, AIC, and AIC-M designations from The Institutes. His upcoming book, The Future Isn't Fully Automated: Why Humans Still Matter in a High-Tech World, examines how AI and automation are reshaping insurance while reinforcing the enduring importance of human judgment, empathy, and leadership.Connect with:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nellie Wartoft⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CEO of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tigerhall⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chair of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Executive Council for Leading Change (ECLC)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠nellie@tigerhall.com

Anzalone vs. the Lions' social media team The Detroit Lions posted a highlight reel of top defensive pass breakups from last season. Linebacker Alex Anzalone did not appear in it, and that rubbed the pending free agent and team leader the wrong way. Anzalone took to social media to call out the Lions in real time. He called out the team account and the way the breakup was being handled. Other pending free agents were featured in the clip. He was not. The reaction was swift, public, and emotional. Deleted Tweets, Leverage, and a Rising Price The tweets came down. The walk-back arrived with claims of a joke. The damage felt done. Anzalone is set to hit the NFL market and will be 32 this season. He has been vital to the Detroit Lions defense, but he is not indispensable. That reality shapes the negotiation. Roster math looms. The Lions already have money committed to core pieces and emerging ones on the way. Taylor Decker and Derrick Barnes are in the fold. Jack Campbell, Sam LaPorta and Jahmyr Gibbs will all command major resources soon. Veterans in Anzalone's tier, and names like DJ Reader discussed previously, get squeezed when the young core ascends. League Eyes and Possible Suitors Other NFL teams noticed the flare-up. That is how the cycle works. When chaos hits one city, rival markets pounce. A Chicago outlet framed Anzalone's likely exit as music to Bears fans. That oversells the moment, but it underlines his respect across the division. The Bears were even cited as a potential landing spot. The market is healthy. Logical fits include the Commanders, Dolphins, Texans, and yes, the Bears. Public frustration can double as a bat signal to bidders. The message is simple. He is open for business. What's Next on the Detroit Lions Podcast The NFL Combine arrives next week. Coverage ramps up for the rest of the week. Today's Prospect of the Day is Oregon IOL Emmanuel Pregnon, who just might be what the Lions are looking for in the second round at guard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaUrNkBG_qY #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #alexanzalone #detroitlionsfreeagency #nflfreeagency #bradleychubb #emmanuelpregnon #lionsfatargets Learn more about your ad choices.

Would you rather have the Commanders sign Bradley Chubb or Tyreek Hill?

2.17.26 Hour 1 1:00- We remember Redskins guard Tre' Johnson as he passed away over the weekend. 21:00- Would you rather have the Commanders sign Bradley Chubb or Tyreek Hill?

In the third hour, Mac & Bone debate how interested the Panthers should be in veteran pass rusher Bradley Chubb, who was released by the Dolphins yesterday, Adam Gold joins for his weekly conversation, and they talk about the chances that Kevin Durant could force his way to Charlotte next year See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 2 dives deep into the Commanders' pass-rush strategy and free-agent priorities. Chris Russell identifies Jaelan Phillips as his top target among upcoming edge defenders, while also discussing options like Maxx Crosby, Trey Hendrickson, and Bradley Chubb. Russell stresses that the team and GM Adam Peters need to be aggressive this offseason, moving away from the cautious approach of previous years. The conversation then focuses on Bradley Chubb, explaining why he makes the most sense scheme-wise and why the Commanders should be actively pitching him to join the team. A-MAC joins the discussion to highlight potential challenges in signing Chubb, giving listeners a comprehensive look at the opportunities and obstacles in bolstering Washington's defense for the upcoming season.

The show opens with a recap of the long weekend and a pleasant surprise from the NBA All-Star Game, with Chris Russell noting the improved competitiveness and entertainment value compared to recent years. The focus quickly shifts to the Washington Commanders' offseason, breaking down the team's salary cap situation and potential moves in free agency, trades, and cuts.

Hour 1 opens with a recap of the long weekend and a pleasant surprise from the NBA All-Star Game, as Chris Russell notes the improved competitiveness and entertainment value compared to recent years. The focus then shifts to the Washington Commanders' offseason, beginning with audio from Ian Rapoport breaking down the team's salary cap situation and how it could shape free agency. Russell reacts with his own take on what the front office should prioritize. The conversation continues with potential cuts and trades, including whether recently released Dolphins stars Tyreek Hill and Bradley Chubb make sense as targets. The hour wraps with a pass-rush debate centered on whether the Commanders should re-sign Von Miller and pursue Chubb to strengthen the defense heading into next season.

The Miami Dolphins are shaking up the league, releasing superstar wide receiver Tyreek Hill and veteran pass rusher Bradley Chubb. Doc Walker and Anthony waste no time asking the big question: Should the Commanders pick up the phone? Would adding Hill's game-breaking speed instantly elevate the offense and take pressure off Jayden Daniels? Or would the contract demands, locker room dynamics, and long-term roster build make it too risky? On the defensive side, could Chubb be the proven edge presence Washington has been searching for — or is durability and cost too big a concern?

The Dolphins released Chubb and the Bucs desperately need a DE

Parce que… c'est l'épisode 0x707! Shameless plug 25 et 26 février 2026 - SéQCure 2026 31 mars au 2 avril 2026 - Forum INCYBER - Europe 2026 14 au 17 avril 2026 - Botconf 2026 28 et 29 avril 2026 - Cybereco Cyberconférence 2026 9 au 17 mai 2026 - NorthSec 2026 3 au 5 juin 2026 - SSTIC 2026 19 septembre 2026 - Bsides Montréal Description Introduction Dans cet épisode de podcast, Casimir Le Grand, fondateur de FairPoint Assurance, un cabinet spécialisé en assurance pour entreprises technologiques, présente les fondamentaux de la cyberassurance et son importance cruciale pour les PME. La discussion met en lumière les aspects souvent méconnus de cette protection devenue essentielle à l'ère numérique. La nature spécifique de la cyberassurance La cyberassurance se divise en deux volets principaux : la responsabilité civile et les dommages directs. Le volet responsabilité couvre les poursuites découlant de fautes cybernétiques commises par l'entreprise, mais représente une portion moins importante des pertes. L'accent de la discussion porte sur les dommages directs, qui constituent les coûts réels de remise en état suite à un incident cybernétique. Un élément fondamental à comprendre est que la cyberassurance est une police monoligne distincte. Elle n'est pas couverte par les polices d'assurance générale combinée commerciale. Bien que certaines polices générales offrent de petites extensions de garantie de 25 000 $ à 100 000 $, ces montants sont largement insuffisants et les couvertures souvent inadéquates. Casimir insiste sur le fait qu'avoir ces petites extensions équivaut pratiquement à n'avoir aucune assurance. Les entreprises doivent donc se procurer une police spécifique pour être réellement protégées contre les risques cybernétiques. Les coûts de réponse à l'incident À chaque incident cybernétique, peu importe sa nature, les coûts de réponse sont systématiquement déclenchés. Ces coûts incluent tous les professionnels qui interviendront pour aider l'entreprise à se remettre en état. Cela comprend les experts en gestion de crise, les spécialistes en investigation forensique qui détermineront le point d'entrée des hackers et les données compromises, ainsi que d'autres professionnels spécialisés. La valeur de l'assurance se manifeste particulièrement ici, car la plupart des PME ne disposent pas d'équipes internes capables de répondre adéquatement à un incident. L'assureur coordonne l'intervention des professionnels et assume les coûts, qui peuvent varier considérablement selon l'urgence. Une intervention d'urgence un samedi matin coûtera significativement plus cher qu'une intervention planifiée le lundi après-midi. Les obligations juridiques et le rôle du breach coach Les avocats spécialisés en protection des renseignements personnels, appelés « breach coaches », jouent un rôle crucial dans la gestion d'un incident. Avec l'entrée en vigueur de la loi 25 au Québec, les entreprises ont des obligations juridiques précises lorsque des informations sont volées ou accédées illégalement. Les breach coaches aident à déterminer ces obligations, notamment : L'obligation d'avertir les personnes concernées Les exigences de notification aux autorités Les obligations contractuelles envers les tiers dont les informations confidentielles ont été compromises Une gestion appropriée de l'incident, guidée par ces professionnels, protège l'entreprise contre d'éventuelles poursuites. À l'inverse, la négligence peut être catastrophique. Certaines entreprises qui ont choisi de ne pas notifier les victimes ou de ne pas offrir de surveillance de crédit se sont exposées à des poursuites qui les ont forcées à fermer leurs portes. L'assureur, qui ne veut pas payer pour ces poursuites, s'assure donc que le breach coach intervienne pour minimiser les risques juridiques. La perte d'exploitation : un coût majeur Au-delà des coûts directs de réponse, les pertes d'exploitation constituent souvent le volet le plus coûteux d'un incident cybernétique. Casimir utilise l'exemple parlant d'une entreprise dont tous les ordinateurs deviennent noirs suite à une attaque de rançongiciel. Les employés ne peuvent plus travailler, les commerces de détail ne peuvent plus scanner les codes-barres, l'accès aux inventaires est bloqué. Pour une entreprise de commerce de détail vendant des produits non uniques, les clients se tourneront rapidement vers la concurrence, entraînant des ventes perdues irrémédiablement. La couverture de perte d'exploitation devient alors vitale. Pourtant, Casimir constate avec préoccupation que cette couverture est souvent sous-limitée. Il voit régulièrement des entreprises qui achètent une limite globale de 5 millions de dollars, mais dont la perte d'exploitation est limitée à seulement 500 000 $ ou 1 million de dollars. L'importance des limites de couverture adéquates Certains assureurs, comme Chubb et Coalition, offrent une limite séparée pour les coûts de réponse aux incidents. Cette structure est avantageuse : si la réponse à l'incident coûte 800 000 $, l'entreprise conserve l'intégralité de sa limite d'un million de dollars pour couvrir la perte d'exploitation et le paiement d'une éventuelle rançon. Cette structure évite que l'entreprise soit forcée de « tourner les coins ronds » sur la réponse à l'incident pour préserver des fonds pour d'autres besoins. Négliger une réponse complète à l'incident est dangereux. Les entreprises qui ne corrigent pas adéquatement les problèmes fondamentaux subissent souvent un deuxième incident dans les six mois suivants, ce qui devient généralement le coup fatal. Les fraudes non sophistiquées : une menace réelle Un aspect moins discuté mais très fréquent concerne les fraudes de transfert de fonds par ingénierie sociale. Contrairement aux attaques sophistiquées nécessitant une expertise technique pour contourner les systèmes de sécurité, ces fraudes de type « grab and go » sont relativement simples à orchestrer. Le scénario typique commence par une compromission de boîte de courriel d'entreprise (Business Email Compromise). Les hackers accèdent à des boîtes courriel mal sécurisées, installent des filtres pour rediriger certains courriels légitimes et surveillent silencieusement les communications. Lorsqu'une transaction importante se profile, ils envoient de fausses instructions de paiement, souvent en prétendant qu'un changement de coordonnées bancaires a eu lieu. Ces fraudes peuvent facilement atteindre des centaines de milliers de dollars. Casimir mentionne le cas remarquable d'une récupération de 9,5 millions de dollars orchestrée par Coalition, grâce à leur équipe spécialisée qui intervient rapidement pour tenter de récupérer les fonds transférés frauduleusement. Sans cette intervention professionnelle rapide, cet argent aurait été définitivement perdu. Conclusion La cyberassurance n'est plus un luxe, mais une nécessité pour toute entreprise moderne utilisant des équipements technologiques. Les coûts d'un incident cybernétique dépassent largement les capacités financières de la plupart des PME. Une couverture adéquate, avec des limites appropriées et l'accès à des professionnels spécialisés, peut faire la différence entre la survie et la fermeture d'une entreprise. L'essentiel est de ne pas sous-estimer les risques et de ne pas se contenter de couvertures inadéquates qui donnent une fausse impression de sécurité.

Imagine Rod Laver dripping beads in a sauna, because we talk about that AND MORE. Yes, Mike (@comedymikegoldstein) and co-host Sam (@samtaunton) snuck into the Alcaraz v Zverev semifinal yesterday and are still giddy as schoolgirls about it! And Mike stayed up until 3am watching the Novak beat Jannik Sinner, and it absolutely shows - the guy is fried. Anyway, marvel as we dissect the Alcaraz inner thigh massage controversy: did he abuse the rules? Or was it a Chubb close call? Also, we interview none other than Coco Gauff (and show her a piece of artwork that she DOES NOT LIKE and Lizzy almost smacks her in the head with a ping pong ball). Drink us in and dance around. Love you. #blessed Listen to The AO Wrap to stay up to date with the latest results each day of the main draw.

Q3 reporting left investors with a familiar challenge: hundreds of stocks traded lower after earnings, and only a few are worth deeper attention. Ben Silverman explains how he narrows that universe by looking at post-earnings insider behavior, focusing on where management actions diverge from prior patterns. He walks through cases such as Norwegian Cruise Line's first executive purchase since 2016, the Sonos CEO buying again after a 45 percent rally, and Chubb's 1.2 billion dollar buyback executed as management called shares "well below intrinsic value."Then Christine Short, Director of Research, TMX Datalinx, examines what companies signaled before they reported through changes in their confirmed earnings dates, a form of corporate "body language." She highlights real Q3 moves including Verizon delaying its date by eight days (shares down about 3 percent after earnings) and Regeneron moving up by two days (shares up about 12 percent after results), illustrating how timing decisions can hint at the tone of upcoming announcements.A concise look at how pre- and post-earnings behavior can shape positioning into year-end.Verity was acquired by TMX Group in October 2025.

This week is the story of Chubbs! The hunt and management if the property are woven together tightly. You will hear how 1 year old bedding thickets and a timber harvest was this deer's demise. It's Hard to pass the best of the young deer when they sport trophy caliber racks, however it pays off when they get another year of age on them. Chubbs was a prime example of study, plan, implement, and execute!

Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji talk NFL Week 8 fantasy football. The guys also preview TNF Vikings at Chargers. Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji open their Week 8 fantasy football podcast on Straight Outta Vegas AM reflecting on the season's midpoint, recent fantasy highs, and successful betting calls from the prior week. They preview Thursday Night Football between the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Chargers, debating both sides' quarterback uncertainty—Carson Wentz starting while J.J. McCarthy heals—and the Chargers' inconsistency under Justin Herbert. Both favor the Chargers at roughly -3, leaning over 44.5 total points, expecting a potentially high-scoring matchup. They analyze fantasy angles: Wentz's passing volume, Justin Jefferson's steady yardage but reduced touchdowns, Jordan Addison's emergence, and Keenan Allen's revived reliability for Los Angeles. Munaf suggests live-betting Wentz's passing props and targeting overs on Jefferson and Herbert, while Rod backs Addison's over 54.5 receiving yards and Allen's 80.5 as safe plays. Discussion shifts to the Chargers' struggling backfield amid Hassan Haskins' injury and Herbert's reliance on passing; both agree Jordan Mason should remain the Vikings' RB1 even with Aaron Jones possibly returning. They emphasize benching Quentin Johnston due to target decline and highlight rookie tight end Aranda Gaston Munoz as a strong fantasy pickup after 164 yards and a touchdown, available in most leagues. Transitioning to fantasy flex debates, they recommend DeAndre Swift over Rhamondre Stevenson against Baltimore's softer rush defense, Hollywood Brown over Marvin Mims thanks to consistent red-zone usage from Mahomes, and Devonta Smith over Rome Odunze given Smith's rising targets with Hurts airing it out. They pick Deebo Samuel over Sterling Shepard, citing Samuel's explosiveness versus Shepard's shallow routes, and suggest Tamir Dyke as a sleeper WR if Calvin Ridley remains sidelined for Tennessee. Munaf projects a pass-heavy Titans game script behind Cam Ward, while Rod turns to running backs, backing Chicago's Kyle Monangai as a sneaky play over Nick Chubb, who's losing work to Woody Marks behind Houston's poor O-line. They close noting San Francisco's elite run defense and the Texans' bleak rushing outlook, agreeing Chubb may be droppable. Wrapping up, they highlight Pregame's NBA “Beat Dave Esler” contest, a $1,000 prize opportunity, and the “Touchdown20” promo for football all-access packages. Both hosts thank listeners, stress the fantasy season's tightening playoff race, and promise more betting and roster advice in next week's show, mixing friendly rivalry, humor, and practical fantasy takeaways for Week 8 managers aiming to stay profitable and playoff-bound.
