2016 PIANY Cybersecurity Survey

PIANY has taken this opportunity to think about the growing issue of cybersecurity and how best the agents and carriers can work together. The importance of this project is highlighted by the recent New York State Department of Financial Services' analysis of insurance carrier regulations for cybersecurity and the release of the Consumers Cyber Bill of Rights by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. Please take a moment to complete this short survey.
