Protecting What You Value Most. Your Students. Your Faculty. Your Future. Since 1955.
Many companies think they do not have a Cyber Exposure, however, virtually all companies have this exposure. In 2014 companies such as Ebay and Domino's Pizza had cyber breaches. This was a relatively new thing in the market at that point. Today the number of cyber security incidents has increased 48% up to 42.8 million. In the past year 43% of companies have had a data breach. Unfortunately, all eyes have turned to schools and universities, as the data housed by these entities can be very valuable on the black market. Think of the number of records that could be breached and used for personal gain, not just immediately, but over the course of years...even decades.
So, what can you do?
Well, at this point, everyone knows they need some type of Cyber Liability Coverage in their total coverage. However, not all Cyber Liability Coverage is created equal. For example, pertaining directly to schools, the amount of forensic coverage included in a policy has to be closely evaluated based on not only the size of the school, but the size of the area and neighboring districts. This can be tricky given many factors. The most important thing is to work with your broker to examine the potential realistic risk and layer your coverage accordingly.

Meet Ed
Ed graduated Lasalle University in 2002, with a major in Business Administration and a minor in Political Science. After college, Ed went to work for Commonwealth Professional Group as a wholesale broker for Management Liability. After 3 years, he took a job with Travelers as a Management Liability Underwriter and quickly was promoted to Account Executive. In 2007, he began working with The Loomis Company. Over his 9 years with The Loomis Company, Ed has worked with many clients ranging in size and market segment. When Ed transitioned to The Loomis Company, he began to focus heavily on the Property & Casualty coverages pertaining to School Districts. Currently, he works with more than 10 school districts in the state of Pennsylvania.
Ed's Approach
"I always try to view a school district as a business, but also as a community with constituents ranging from Board, Faculty, Students, and Families. By taking this approach, I feel that I am more able to immerse myself in the direction and goals of the district. My goal is always to put the safety and needs of the school first and foremost. I lean heavily on my team to be proactive with training, assessments, and community relations. Beyond just coverage and response, I always make sure to keep in constant contact with all of my clients. This is the most important piece for me. Establishing a true relationship will always be the key piece in assuring changes are handled correctly with no confusion in any procedural process."
