Placing You First Insurance Podcast by CRC Group

As the world of remote work continues to explode, so does the need for robust cybersecurity solutions. In our latest episode, we're joined by Chris Zepeda, an Associate Broker with CRC Group’s Boca Raton, FL office, and Alexandra Kish, an Associate Broker with our Dallas, TX office. They are going to enlighten us on the often misunderstood, yet increasingly critical, world of end point detection and response (EDR). We’re going to delve into how EDR works, the key benefits of utilizing this technology, and why every business, regardless of size, should be taking note.

We're not just talking tech here; we're unraveling the future of business protection. Chris and Alexandra help us understand the interplay between EDR, machine learning and artificial intelligence in detecting suspicious behaviors and threats. They also share insights on how insurers perceive EDR – is it an optional add-on or a necessity? You might be surprised at the answer. This conversation is a deep dive into the heart of cybersecurity that you won't want to miss. So, buckle up and join us!
