Casey Brandt\, CISR\, also compares needs vs. wants in business insurance to help decisionmakers prioritize coverage based on risk exposure\, legal requirements\, and financial tolerance. Additionally\, the presentation introduces self-insurance strategies\, explaining when alternative risk financing makes sense\, what industries use it effectively\, and the potential advantages and pitfalls.

Finally\, we’ll cover the growing importance of Cyber Insurance—what it covers\, typical cyber risks facing businesses today\, and why even small organizations are increasingly vulnerable.
