Chamber Chatter With Diversified Insurance
Bob Keogh Why the Grinch did not get put away with the Christmas Decorations
One of this past Holiday’s biggest stories was the Target breach. Our firm had two employees affected by the data theft and I am sure you may know a victim as well. The bad part is this just unleashed other stories of other breaches. I have come to the conclusion that in our digital world this is just part of living. It is almost like driving, at some point you are going to get hit or hit somebody else, but you still will drive with that certainty.
In this month’s Diversified Cyber Risks and Liabilities Newsletter we address the need for Data Breach coverage. We explain four common areas of exposure to you, your employees and customers: Data Breach, System Failure, Cyber Extortion and Business Interruption from Cyber Crime.
We also share some other eye opening topics this month. Is your mobile banking app a good idea? Check out the statistics and you decide. If you and your employees or co-workers use their own devices to hook up to work, smartphones, laptops, tablets etc. it is time to check your BYOD (bring your own device) procedures. read more...

Supplies can not get delivered. Customers are staying home and out of stores and restaurants. Sales may be down and productivity may be quite slow.
Of course, salaries and bills still need to be paid, and you are getting phone calls and letters daily for donations, which never seems to let up!

A Message From The Chamber President & CEO
 2014....a year to emerge with the Chamber.
It is an exciting time in business as 2014 is here. The Whitehouse Area Chamber of Commerce is experiencing growth in our business economy, simply drive on our roads and you can see it. The Chamber is continuing to evolve and adapt to the changing needs of the business community as it grows. The Chamber remains focused on critical issues for our region, and is expanding into developing areas with its affiliate, The Anthony Wayne Community Improvement Corporation. The Chamber also provides a forum for the business community to address issues that will enable our community to continue to experience the growth it has in the past, into the future. The private sector has a key leadership role to play in driving the dialog on the issues and needs of the future - items such as our area's sign code and zoning needs, parking, our future workforce, educational needs and more. I encourage you to use the Chamber as a means of developing relationships and participating in the dialog on these and other priority issues. I also encourage you to commit to making the most of the Whitehouse Area Chamber this year, and if you're not already a member, join today. I look forward to working with you and your business to ensure we remain one of the best places in the nation to do business. Have a great month as we start a new year!
