Johnty Interviewed by Clive Myrie, BBC along with industry leaders on Insurtech
Risk technology is making our lives safer – but better education is vital.
The panel agreed that education and re-skilling will be vital if the risk and insurance professions are to maximise the opportunities afforded by AI. Risk managers will need more data expertise, the ability to ask the right questions of AI and the knowledge to critically assess the output. “People are hoping AI agents will do everything for us, but there needs to be a strategy,” said Ben Fidlow.

The cyber insurance market has transformed from ’a bit of a wild west to the smart cyber insurance race,’ says Global Head of Cyber Risk management
InfoSec Magazine
Johnty Mongan, cyber-risk consultant at Gallagher, commented: “As businesses become more reliant on their digital capability, in part driven by the increase in remote working as a result of COVID-19, ensuring they have a high level of protection against cyber-attacks, and identifying ways in which common cybersecurity risks can be mitigated against, is now an important consideration for companies of all sizes.

Insurance post
Johnty Mongan, global head of cyber risk management at Gallagher, argues prevention is the best cure and urges organisations to raise their cybersecurity standards. With cyber attacks recently dominating headlines and some of our best known and loved retail brands being heavily impacted, could this act as a step change in how businesses deal with the ever changing threats.
Johnty's Team win Multinational Newcomer
The AXCO “Multinational Newcomer to the Market” award recognises organisations that have successfully established a credible and innovative presence in the multinational insurance and risk management sector within a relatively short period of time. The category is designed to highlight businesses that have demonstrated rapid growth, strong client impact, and a differentiated approach to serving international organisations operating across multiple jurisdictions.
Johnty's Team win best Product in Risk Analytics
The AXCO “Innovation in Global Risk Analytics” award recognises organisations that are advancing the way risk is identified, analysed, modelled, and managed across international insurance programmes. The category celebrates businesses that use data, technology, analytics, and strategic insight to help clients better understand complex global risks and make more informed decisions.
In practice, the award highlights innovation in areas such as predictive analytics, cyber risk intelligence, catastrophe modelling, portfolio aggregation analysis, and real-time risk monitoring. Judges look for solutions that improve transparency, enhance decision-making, and provide measurable value to multinational clients operating across multiple territories and regulatory environments.

“If you can hack into a HVAC system and raise the temperature within a plant to the point at which the equipment starts to fall over, that’s physical damage created by security failure,” Mongan says.
Many of these systems are connected to the internet, simply because employees need to be able to access them remotely, which raises a host of other security questions about how remote access is managed across a broad range of potential employees, contractors and suppliers. The renewable energy sector is a web of contractors and sub-contractors, so managing remote access to equipment is a unique challenge.
“It’s a pseudo-supply chain problem, which I think is going to be really attractive to cyber criminals,” Mongan says.
