RiskSense VP of Security Research to Discuss Financial Impacts of Cyber Pandemics at National Meeting of US Insurance Commissioners

SUNNYVALE, Calif. and ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Aug. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- RiskSense®, Inc., the pioneer and market leader in pro-active cyber risk management, today announced its vice president of security research and engineering, Anand Paturi, will present findings from a study on the financial risk exposures associated with two recently leaked NSA cyber weapons (Double Pulsar and Eternal Blue) at the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) Summer 2017 National Meeting next week in Philadelphia. 

    WHO:    Anand Paturi, vice president of security research and engineering for RiskSense, is an
            expert in Web application and database security, risk exposure quantification, and
            enterprise risk analytics. He is credited with developing one of the first cyber risk
            scoring models for computing devices.


    WHAT:   The recent Wanna Cry ransomware attack, and others, have demonstrated how quickly malware
            can spread across the globe and cripple businesses. The impact of these cyber attacks now
            extends beyond traditional IT systems into operational systems used to control industrial,
            manufacturing and critical infrastructures.  As a result, insurers and organizations are
            struggling to estimate the financial and business exposure associated with these cyber
            pandemics. In this session, Mr. Paturi will use findings from a recent study on the NSA's
            leaked Double Pulsar and Eternal Blue cyber weapons to explain how the insurance industry
            can use artificial intelligence and mathematical models to assess a cyber threat, it's
            propagation, and potential exposure/impact.


    WHEN:   Antifraud (D) Task Force (Open Session). Monday, August 7 from 8:30 AM -10:00 AM in Grand
            Ballroom GH, Level 5
