We're coming to you LIVE from Riskworld 2025! In this episode of Brick by Brick, Jason Reichl sits down with David Finz, Senior Vice President at Alliant Insurance Services, to tackle the growing threat of social engineering attacks that are costing businesses six and seven-figure losses. David shares his expertise helping companies across construction, healthcare, and financial services understand how cyber insurance works alongside crime and fidelity policies to protect against wire fraud and business email compromise.

Discover the four key types of cybercrime losses covered under cyber policies, why employees fall for increasingly sophisticated payment instruction changes, and how to implement multi-layered authentication systems. Learn why risk managers need to break down silos between IT, HR, and legal teams, how tabletop exercises can elevate your profile within your organization, and practical strategies for staying ahead of threats - including emerging AI-powered voice phishing that David's team is now seeing firsthand.
