Blog: How is the debate around cyber affecting clients?
Brokerbility’s Ashwin Mistry considers how the recent row about the quality of cyber products could be interpreted by customers.
I have an affection for thought-provoking headlines because they generate robust debate, and the recent Mactavish cyber report has certainly proved the point.
Mactavish’s criticism of flawed cyber products has been roundly lambasted by those who argue that the market has moved on dramatically in the past twelve months and the report doesn’t reflect current products.
My reaction, however, relates rather less to the products than to how the whole episode plays out with our clients.
