Presented by Zywave, the annual cyber risk awards spotlight top professionals and organizations across the cyber insurance and risk management space.

Seusing's nomination reflects his exceptional leadership in this area, marked by a forward-looking approach to emerging cyber threats and a commitment to advancing the legal and practical frameworks surrounding cyber risk. Through strategic counsel, leadership, and active engagement with clients as well as industry stakeholders, Seusing has played a key role in shaping how organizations manage cyber exposure.
"It is an honor to be nominated alongside so many respected professionals in the cyber risk space," said Seusing. "Over the past year, our focus has been on helping clients anticipate challenges before they arise and building strategies that are both practical and resilient in the face of constant change."
