Chubb and Carnegie Mellon award cyber certification to agents, brokers
The program gives commercial agents the opportunity to become certified in best practices in cybersecurity risk management.
Chubb and Carnegie Mellon University’s Heinz College of Information Systems and Public Policy have awarded the Cyber COPE Insurance Certification (CCIC) designations to a group of insurance professionals who recently completed the program.
Best practices in cybersecurity risk management, governance & ops
The program gives commercial agents, brokers, and wholesalers the opportunity to learn and become certified in industry best practices in cybersecurity risk management, governance, and operations.
“Agents and brokers who have completed this rigorous program have demonstrated a comprehensive understanding of the cyber risks facing businesses and organizations of all sizes and industries,” said Bobbie Goldie, Senior Vice President, North America Financial Lines at Chubb. “By being better educated about current cyber exposures, CCIC agents are better positioned to educate their clients on how to improve their cyber security protocols and manage their cyber risks.”
7-month program
The seven-month program consisted of three residential sessions on Carnegie Mellon’s campus, a series of virtual learning modules, and a capstone project. Participants engaged in sessions about:
- Origins of computer science.
- Cyber-risk resilience.
- Cyber governance and insurance solutions.
- Cyber law.
- Diagnostics, assessment and measurement, including presenting about exposures and subsequent coverage, and more.
The curriculum was administered by a combination of Chubb professionals and Carnegie Mellon professors.
“We are pleased to offer the prestigious CCIC designation to these outstanding graduates,” said David Ulicne, Heinz College Senior Director of Executive Education Programs. “This designation shows their incredible dedication to the insurance industry, as well as their ongoing commitment to educating themselves and their clients on the current cybersecurity risk challenges and mitigation practices.”
To maintain the designation, participants must attend two virtual sessions each year.
