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”.

Adam Bixby

Aon PLC said Tuesday it has named Adam Bixby as managing director, proactive security leader, for cyber solutions North America.

Aon said in a statement Mr. Bixby, who is New York-based, will be responsible for the success of the proactive security practices, advisory and testing, leading business development, service delivery, people and operations.

Mr. Bixby previously served as co-practice leader of Aon’s cybersecurity testing team, according to the statement. This is a new position.

Aon said in addition to his role at the brokerage, he serves as a hacking technical consultant for TV and movies, including “Mr. Robot,” “Ocean’s 8,” “The Flight Attendant” and “The Equalizer.” He was a security forces member in the U.S. Air Force before his cybersecurity career, Aon said.

It was revealed earlier this month that Marsh & McLennan Cos. Inc. was hit by a data breach in April involving access to Social Security numbers and other personal information of staff, former staff, clients and a range of other people linked to the brokerage.

Last September, brokerage Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. was hit by a ransomware attack and in March insurer CNA Financial Corp. was hit by a ransomware attack, which it reportedly paid $40 million to resolve.
