Cyber word/definitions of the week:
Rootkit: Another kind of malware that allows cybercriminals to remotely control your computer. Rootkits are especially damaging because they are hard to detect, making it likely that this type of malware could live on your computer for a long time.
Rootkit malware is a collection of software designed to give malicious actors control of a computer network or application. Once activated, the malicious program sets up a backdoor exploit and may deliver additional malware, such as ransomware, bots, keyloggers or trojans. Rootkits may remain in place for years because they are hard to detect, due in part to their ability to block some antivirus software and malware scanner software.
The snow melted but we know it’s coming back, so it’s time to talk about WINTER RISKS! We write those! Here’s a list of just some of the great winter risks we write…including special events! Check out this Winter Risks Sheet. If you don’t see something, ask your underwriter! There is a good chance it’s on our website or we can find it for you.
It’s about to get…Personal.
We will be working with American Modern in the next few weeks! We will send out an announcement when we are ready to go live, so stay tuned.
Save the Date! On Wednesday, November 9th, we are trying to decide if we are going to host an in-person networking opportunity to introduce our new updated personal lines product Aegis with our Personal Lines team and their representatives in Anchorage, or if we should just do a Zoom meeting introduction, or a combo of both? So we need your help! Please vote below and let us know what you would like us to do!
Will you attend a live event from 2-4pm with appetizers and beverages?
Would you only do a Zoom Meeting?
TIC 2023 Calendars
In the past, we sent paper calendars to your office. We didn’t send them last year because everyone was still working from home. But some of you missed the calendars! So now we need to know..
Do you want us to create and send you a TIC 2023 Nature Calendar?
Reading Rewards are either a $10 Starbucks card or a $10 donation to the charity of your choice!
Dawn recognized her risk last week! If you see your risk below, you can choose to send a $10 to the donation of your choice or receive a gift card to Starbucks. To claim your Reading Reward, email: akorver@ticak.com
