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”.

Supply chain risks, cyber security to be featured at Risk Management Summit®

NEW YORK—Supply chain, cyber security and global expansion risks are top of mind for risk managers at large companies this year.

To get cutting-edge insights into how to manage these dynamic and potentially catastrophic exposures, risk managers from the largest companies in the world will gather at the Waldorf=Astoria in New York next month for Business Insurance's 2012 Risk Management Summit®. Qualified risk managers can attend the Risk Management Summit at no cost, and registration for the event is still open.

The annual Risk Management Summit®, now it its third year, provides attendees with focused insight via specific, timely general sessions and strategic, thought-provoking discussions with industry leaders and peers across an array of industries.

The Risk Management Summit®, to be held Feb. 29-March 1, is open to senior risk managers at Fortune 1000 companies and international companies of comparable size, as well as to past Business Insurance Risk Manager of the Year® and Risk Management Honor Roll® honorees who still serve as risk managers.

Summit partners include Chartis, Dempsey Partners, FM Global, Sedgwick and Zurich.

The 2012 Risk Management Summit® will provide case studies on four issues of greatest concern to risk managers, as identified in a recent survey of target attendees: cyber liability, risks of global expansion, supply chain risk and business continuity, and captive insurance strategies.

Each case study will be followed by panel discussion on the same topic featuring the views of leading academics, executives from industry partner companies and other experts.

The first presentation on Wednesday, Feb. 29, will be a case study on cyber security by Christopher Soghoian, cyber and privacy specialist at the Center for Applied Cyber Security Research, which will help attendees identify cyber security weaknesses in their systems.

Riordan, president-specialty products at Zurich; and Richard Santalesa, senior counsel, Information Law Group.

The global risks panel discussion will offer views from Thomas A. Lawson, executive vp, FM Global; Peter Laun, partner, Jones Day; and Mary Cline, director-corporate advisory services at Eurasia Group.

Thursday's sessions will kick off with a case study on supply chain security and risk management from Patrice Knight, vp-global supply operations at IBM Corp. Her presentation will be followed by a panel discussion featuring Edward Erickson, vp-product and business development at IntraPoint AS and founder of the Supply Chain Risk Management Leadership Council; David Closs, the John H.
