Staying Under the Radar: The Cornerstones of Cybersecurity
The center of attention is not my idea of the place to be. I know that sounds crazy in this day and age, where people crave the spotlight and brand awareness is king, but hear me out.
Why We Say “No”
Our growing brand reputation here at NFP attracts a lot of technology publications that want to talk about our technology footprint. When these invitations happen, I politely decline. The last thing you ever want to do in my space is increase people’s awareness of who you are and what you do.
The technology industry evolved into teams — offensive attackers against the rest of us on defense. As the leader of defenses at NFP, I want to minimize visibility to our technology and, in turn, reduce the number of cyberattacks that put our clients’ and partners’ information at risk, damage our reputation and expose us to significant financial loss. Once you get bold and say to the world, “We have great technology,” someone will take it as a challenge. While they may not be able to prove you wrong, they can certainly cause unnecessary stress and involvement from our already hard working resources.
We’re proud of what we do in the NFP Technology department, but when it comes to cybersecurity, sometimes patting yourself on the back is equivalent to slapping on a target. We need to stay out of the limelight — the wrong person with strong motivation and enough talent can still crack an incredible system, even with all our great work.
When companies do anything ethically dubious, they become targets. Luckily, NFP strives to do business the right way. We put forth our best efforts to produce amazing results for our clients, and we live out our corporate values of putting people first — whether they’re employees, clients or vendors. When you have that sort of integrity, it adds an extra layer of protection.
NFP’s quiet confidence and strong security measures help our clients feel safe when they’re doing business with us. That trust goes a long way in sustaining our client retention, increasing our cross-sell opportunities and improving the likelihood of them referring us to others.
We’re Pretty Good at Locking the Doors
You might feel like you’ve seen a few more emails than usual about digital issues – like DocuSign phishing and the WannaCry ransomware outbreak – and wondered why there’s such an uptick in attacks lately. It isn’t because hacking is new. It’s just getting easier for hackers to find points of entry through people rather than through the security defenses. Because we make so much information available, it’s easier and easier for individuals to be attacked via electronic means, in subtle ways.
Hacking’s not all phishing and ransomware, though. Attackers routinely attempt to digitally break in to do significant damage and collect data that can be extremely lucrative. NFP, with strong support from our Executive Management Committee, has invested heavily in our cybersecurity defenses.
When our systems identify attackers trying to “hack” their way in, our automated barriers slow them down or stop the attack entirely. Our Technology team is notified, quickly isolates any concern and reports to NFP’s Coordinated Incident Response Team what, if any, risk was exposed. We’re not impenetrable, but we’re pretty good at locking the doors. Hackers may think, “I might crack this eventually, but with these strong defenses, it’s hard.” They’re more likely to check the door, realize the sophistication of the lock and then move on.
We’re Human; We Make Mistakes
The ability to block everything is impossible, but as systems get stronger, criminally minded individuals start targeting the weakest link: people. When it comes to data protection and security online, the reality is that people are the biggest threat to a secure system. People want to be helpful. We – as employees and as individuals – want to be heroes and provide amazing service. This attitude is what makes us great, but it also makes us vulnerable.
Individuals not affiliated with a company might befriend the nightly security guard to gain trust, show up with their arms full and hope somebody holds doors or scans open a secure area. Once inside, accessing sensitive information – or even just grabbing and walking out with an entire computer – gets a whole lot easier. This same type of thing can happen when a user mistakenly gives information to the wrong person – either on the phone or through a bad link or download – or lets a malicious person trick them into getting onto their computer to perform “maintenance.”
That’s not to say that we’re always making mistakes. Thanks to our annual cybersecurity compliance training, we’re actually seeing less bad-URL clicking, more communication and check-ups with us in Technology Services, and stronger due diligence across the board. It’s amazing and incredibly heartening — so keep it up and have your eyes peeled for this year’s cybersecurity training!
Four Cornerstones of Cybersecurity
When it comes to staying safe online, there’s really no mystery. We do all the right things, and our leadership gives us the tools we need to make ourselves technologically safe.
But each individual employee can help by pulling together, keeping each other accountable and staying focused. Follow this advice:- Don’t open suspicious emails or links. Even if it doesn’t look particularly suspicious, no one’s ever going to ask you out of the blue to click something for validation, especially someone you don’t know on a project you’ve never heard of. Any time you get something that looks suspicious, but you don’t know for sure and think you may need to open it, tell Technology. We can investigate to find out if it’s on the level.
- Don’t give out your credentials/our clients’ information. Most companies you interact with know how phishing works and how malware is spread. Google, Facebook, your bank — whoever it is, they aren’t going to try to verify your information online or get in touch with you in an insecure fashion.
- Stay vigilant. Pay attention to what you’re doing and where you’re doing it. Don’t log on to that weird-looking free Wi-Fi at the coffee shop just because their public connection is running a little slow. Don’t send confidential materials from public spaces. Don’t click on that ad claiming that you’re the millionth visitor or that you’ve won an exclusive vacation. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.
- Don’t panic. If something’s obviously gone wrong, or even if you think you might’ve just made a big mistake, immediately unplug your computer (do not save, do not do the normal shut-down process), take a step back, breathe, assess the situation and get in touch immediately. It’ll be okay; we’re here to help.
If you see something, say something. Even if you think you only might have a virus but you’re not sure, the worst thing you can do is not say anything. Time is of the essence. We can investigate immediately and address the issue before it affects the entire network. Don’t be afraid; just talk to us. We’re here, we understand and we’d rather check up and find false alarms than not get the opportunity to fix a real one.
If you ever have any questions, email technologyservices@nfp.com and let’s address the problem together.

How the West Is Being Won
NFP’s growing West Coast and Mountain regions recently held their annual meetings. In Northern California, the group met new producers, learned new ways of selling and enjoyed some team-building exercises led by Managing Director John Hohman. John then joined Managing Director Paul Saich in Southern California, where the group focused on retirement, benefits and property & casualty. Members of the Executive Management Committee also talked generally about the state of the company, where we're going and how each employee, principal and contractor has a role in helping us get there. Finally, the two-day conference in Scottsdale, AZ, focused on helping each team and office in this up-and-coming area understand what other solutions exist within their local region to enable integrated selling. The event also featured great market updates from some of our wholesalers.
Three conferences in four days is a big deal! Special thanks to all teams involved who ensured these three events went off without a hitch so attendees could focus on learning and growing. We also recognize our valued carrier partners – Unum, Principal and Aflac – for sponsoring our meetings. We’re already looking forward to next year!

July Is Hydration Awareness Month … H2 Oh the Benefits
You know when eight isn’t enough? When we’re talking about H20. We’ve all heard the age-old advice of drinking eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day, but you may actually need more. Each individual has different hydration needs based on several factors. These include how much you exercise/perspire, the environment or climate around you, if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, and your health status — because if you’re sick with a fever or vomiting, you lose more fluids.
According to the Mayo Clinic, an adequate intake for a healthy man is about 13 cups (three liters). For a healthy woman, it's about nine cups (2.2 liters). Sounds like a lot, right? Here are a few tips on how to stay hydrated this summer:- Eat your water. Watermelon, celery, cucumbers, soups and other water-dense foods can help keep you hydrated without you even realizing it.
- There’s an app for that. Actually, there are several apps that can help you keep track of your daily water intake. Try Waterlogged for iPhone or Water Your Body for Android and iPhones.
- Add your own flavor. Try adding mint, lemon, cucumber or other fruit to add flavor without adding calories.
Using these water intake hacks will help you reap the benefits of staying hydrated. Why is hydration important? Water affects so many different systems and parts of your body. For example, water can benefit your:
- Skin – You can spend a lot of money on creams and lotions to help keep your skin clear and glowing, but drinking water really is one of the best things you can do to help your skin glow from the inside.
- Appetite – Drinking water can help suppress your appetite. Feel hungry? You might actually just be thirsty. Next time you get a craving, try having a glass of water. It’s likely that the craving will subside.
- Energy – Staying fully hydrated helps to keep your energy levels up. Even minor dehydration can make you tired. So recharge, refresh, and refuel yourself often with some good old H20.
Recognize the Signs of a Heart Attack
We all know someone who’s been affected by cardiovascular disease. In fact, this disease – which includes coronary heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure – accounts for about one out of every three deaths in the U.S., or 2,200 American deaths every day. The good news is that there are steps we can take every day to reduce our risk of developing heart disease. One of the most important things you can do is to make it a point to remember the signs of a heart attack.
Know the Signs
Heart attacks often differ between men and women:Symptoms in Both Men and Women
- Squeezing chest pain or pressure
- Shortness of breath
- Sweating
- Tightness in chest
- Pain spreading to shoulders, neck, arm or jaw
- Feeling of heartburn or indigestion with or without nausea and vomiting
- Sudden dizziness or brief loss of consciousness
Symptoms More Likely in Women
- Indigestion or gas-like pain
- Dizziness or nausea
- Unexplained weakness or fatigue
- Discomfort or pain between the shoulder blades
- Recurring chest discomfort
- Sense of impending doom
What To Do
If someone near you is experiencing a heart attack:- Call 911 immediately.
- Provide one aspirin to chew.
- Give CPR if the person isn’t breathing.
- Get to the hospital quickly.
American Heart Association
NFP is proud to support the American Heart Association and join the fight against heart disease and stroke. We’re committed to engaging all employees in raising awareness and funds for heart health education, advocacy and community programs. Check out the NFP AHA website on how you can get involved and join Team NFP in a Heart Walk this fall.

Smooth Sailing with P&C Coverage
Bill Bannon, one of our SVPs, recently sat down with Property Casualty 360 to share insights into how clients with boats, yachts and other watercraft can minimize their risk and maximize protection. In particular, Bill recommends advisors ask their boating clients questions about boat licenses, the geographical location where boating activities will take place, how many people should be covered and what kinds of activities – like waterskiing – need to be protected but may not be automatically covered by all plans. Working with clients to meet their diverse needs — that’s the NFP Way.

NFP Secures Coverage for Russian Documentary
How far do we go to build solid relationships and put people first? The Indianapolis Motor Speedway contacted our Indianapolis office, seeking assistance in providing coverage for a Russian film and news crew that was coming to the Indianapolis 500. The news crew’s last-minute decision to attend the race gave our team a short three days to obtain the required coverage.
First, a little background … for the second year in a row, a Russian race driver, Mikhail Aleshin, aka “The Russian Rocket” qualified for a starting position — a feat never before accomplished before in the history of the race. At the last minute, President Putin decided to send one of his own news teams to prepare a documentary that would be broadcast throughout Russia declaring Mikhail Aleshin a national hero.
The news team arrived in Indianapolis after a 20-hour flight from Moscow and were told to "stand down" until coverage was bound. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway required, without negotiation, a $5 million total limit for general liability coverage. Our team quickly went to our list of specialty carriers to obtain coverage. Despite appeals and explanations, we received 20 different declinations because the news team was from Russia.
With our backs to the wall and Moscow hinting that this was an international incident, we found an insurance company that immediately wrote the coverage and saved the day. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway was thrilled that the coverage was placed under their criteria, and we believe that NFP’s relationship with the venue was only more deeply enhanced through this ordeal. Regardless of how we’re tested, our commitment to our relationships with our clients and their success is always what keeps us growing as a company.

Spend Smart with Basic Economy Fares
You may have noticed that many of the major airlines are introducing new “basic economy fares.” What you may not know is that these fares are typically limited to transporting you from one destination to the next. Seat assignments, carry-on luggage, changes and cancellations often cost extra. These basic fares can save you money if you’re able to avoid these “extras.” Otherwise, those fees can add up. This means that sometimes the slightly higher fare ends up being the more cost-effective option. To help you be more aware of what may or may not be included when choosing the right fare for you, we’ve listed some of the common restrictions you’ll find with basic economy fares. These restrictions may apply even if you have status with the airline:
- Flight changes or refunds are not allowed
- Last-group boarding
- No pre-assigned seating; seats are assigned by the carrier at check-in
- Not eligible for upgrades
- Only one carry-on item that fits under the seat in front of you allowed, with no overhead bin access
You might also want to read up on basic economy fares with these top three carriers: American, Delta and United. Have bags to check in? That can change everything. Here’s a reference guide to help you to determine each carrier’s baggage fees. You may want to check size and weight limits on each carrier’s site.
Airline Carrier Baggage Fee Details United Click here to access their “Baggage Calculator” to determine service charges for any United itinerary. Delta Baggage allowances vary depending on fare class and member reward status. Compare here. Southwest Two free checked bags with every ticket. American Fare class and member reward status determine baggage allowances. Compare here. JetBlue Different fare options include different numbers of checked bags. Review here. Concur has been updated to alert you each time a basic economy fare is chosen and to outline possible restrictions. We hope this helps you make the best choice for comfortable and responsible travel. Happy and safe travels!
