Cyber security: What mental health professionals need to know to protect their practice
I'm joined by Eric Alter, Senior Vice President of Risk, and Cyber Engagement Leader for Marsh Commercial, who provide Oxygen insurance for therapists.
We're talking about cyber insurance and why we might want to consider getting some protection from the threat that we face as practitioners working in an increasingly cyber-heavy environment.
At the end of the episode, I also give a little note about what I did following this; the practical steps that, as a micro business, I took to protect the data of the people that I work with.
About Eric

Over the years he has taken responsibility for risk engagement across the UK wide Corporate Business and now leads both Risk & Cyber engagement. In addition to this Eric runs internal training sessions and arranges client facing events focussing on key risk areas.
Eric has in excess of 25 years risk management experience across both the Public & Private Sectors and works with clients of all sizes across a wide range of businesses. Eric also acts as Senior Relationship Officer on a number of complex accounts.
