Independent agents and brokers serving small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) must keep up with twists and turns in cyber risk and cyber insurance.

Dean Mechlowitz is co-founder of TEKRiSQ, a firm that transforms small and mid-sized business cybersecurity preparedness to simplify the way organizations protect themselves. As an enterprise software and tech-focused sales leader in insurance and other industry sectors, Mechlowitz has worked with startup firms and Fortune 100 companies.
