BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

RiskBlock Alliance teams with Ernst & Young on cyber security

The Institutes RiskBlock Alliance said U.S.-based consultancy firm Ernst & Young L.L.P. will provide blockchain-specific cyber security and risk management guidance for the alliance, Malvern, Pennsylvania-based RiskBlock said in a statement Monday.

Ernst & Young will work with the RiskBlock Alliance to identify risks unique to its blockchain, as well as leading practice controls, and to provide blockchain-specific cyber security assessments and testing, the statement said.

“We expect that the risk and controls guidance and cyber security testing services EY is developing will not just be critical to the success of the RiskBlock Alliance, but likely will help set the standard for industry-leading practices for blockchain enterprise,” Christopher G. McDaniel, president of The Institutes RiskBlock Alliance, said in the statement.

Last week, the RiskBlock Alliance added 12 members, including BB&T Insurance Holdings Inc., State Farm, The Travelers Cos. Inc. and W.R. Berkley Corp.
