NetDiligence launches Career Pathways Program for students and young professionals

Pennsylvania-based cyber risk management company NetDiligence is launching its inaugural Career Pathways Program for students and early-career insurance professionals at the upcoming Cyber Risk Summit in Philadelphia.

The program will debut on 30 September 2024, as part of the three-day conference, featuring a full day of sessions and networking opportunities tailored for the next generation of cyber insurance professionals.

In response to the growing demand for specialised training, NetDiligence has created two distinct tracks within the Career Pathways Program: one for students and one for young professionals.

Developed in collaboration with the Spencer Educational Foundation and supported by sponsors Berkley Cyber Risk Solutions, ESET and TransUnion, the program offers students insights into the cyber insurance sector, skills development sessions, and networking opportunities with employers.

For young insurance professionals with one to four years of experience, the program offers targeted education on core security practices, incident response strategies, and the latest legal and regulatory developments.

Participants will also have the chance to connect with industry leaders and peers, enhancing their professional networks.

NetDiligence is providing complimentary passes to this program for students in selected majors and young professionals working for carriers or brokerages.

NetDiligence said the initiative underscores its commitment to fostering the next generation of cyber insurance leaders by providing them with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed
