Various topics were discussed during this meeting, among which: cyber threats, regulations, insurance solutions and means of protection. According to Youssef Fassi-Fihri, CEO of SCR, emerging cyber risks are the most threatening for companies. They are increasingly exposed to data hacking, ransom demands by hackers, and reputation damaging.
The Moroccan insurers need to establish effective insurance solutions to cover their customers. The need to develop such solutions has become a priority in the Moroccan market. In this prospect, Allianz Maroc organized a first meeting under the same theme on November 21, 2019 in Casablanca.
