Webinar:Digital Risk in Engineering: Cyber Threats, AI Exposure & Liability Impacts

Description

Join ACEC Georgia for a webinar on Digital Risk in Engineering: Cyber Threats, AI Exposure & Liability Impacts. 

This session examines real-world cyber claims impacting engineering firms, including ransomware, data manipulation, and funds-transfer fraud, and how these events translate into professional liability exposure. We will outline what cyber insurance covers, key proactive risk management features, and where gaps exist. The session also addresses emerging risks from AI usage and provides practical guidance on secure enterprise AI integration, governance, and aligning cyber, insurance, and operational controls.

• A&E cyber claims examples (ransomware, data manipulation, ACH fraud, backup failure)
• What cyber insurance covers vs. what shifts into professional liability
• Proactive features of strong cyber policies (breach coach, tabletop exercises, training, pre-breach tools)
• Where cyber incidents become standard-of-care claims
• AI risk in engineering firms (data exposure, hallucinations, IP issues)
• Alex: enterprise AI integration and security architecture (private deployment, access control, logging, governance)
• Final slide: integrated cyber, AI, insurance, and contract checklist
