CFC, the specialist insurance provider, pioneer in emerging risk and market leader in cyber, today announces the appointment of Isabel Finn as Head of Cyber Exposure and Proactive Risk, a newly created role designed to strengthen how cyber risk is identified, understood and proactively reduced across the insurance lifecycle.
The appointment reflects growing demand from brokers and clients for clearer, more actionable insight into cyber exposure, including visibility on how risk is developing, how it impacts coverage and pricing, and how to reduce it at earlier stages.
In her new role, Finn will focus on translating CFC’s deep reserves of real world incident data, threat intelligence and monitoring insight into decision ready intelligence that supports broker placement conversations and helps clients better understand where their greatest exposures sit. She will work closely with CFC’s underwriting, product, proactive cyber and incident response teams to ensure exposure insights are directly reflected in underwriting assessment, proactive services and claims mitigation strategies.
Jason Hart, Managing Director, Proactive and Global Cyber Security Services at CFC, said: “Cyber risk has become more complex and more data rich than ever before. The challenge for the market is turning that data into something brokers and clients can put to use. Isabel’s role is about closing that gap.”
By strengthening the feedback loop between incidents we see, the intelligence we gather and the way risk is assessed and priced, we’re giving brokers clearer, more practical insight to support placement discussions and help clients take meaningful action to reduce their exposure. That’s increasingly what the market is asking for, and this role is a key step in delivering it. Jason Hart, Managing Director, Proactive and Global Cyber Security Services
Finn joins CFC with a background in cyber security, exposure analysis and risk translation. Throughout her career, she has focused on helping insurers, underwriters and security leaders understand how technical cyber risk manifests in real world loss and how it can be mitigated through better insight and prioritization.
Prior to joining CFC, Finn was Cyber Services Manager at Canopius, where she led cyber exposure and service initiatives supporting underwriting and risk reduction. She previously held roles as Senior Cyber Security Consultant at FTI Consulting and Cyber Analyst at Darktrace, building deep experience across incident response, threat analysis and the commercial application of cyber risk insight.
This new role also strengthens CFC’s engagement with brokers and the wider market, supporting more structured dialogue around how cyber exposure data is shared, interpreted and applied in practice – affecting underwriting decisions as well as proactive risk management and response.
Commenting on her appointment, Isabel Finn said: “I’m really excited to join CFC. What stood out to me is the strength of its response, intelligence and monitoring capabilities, and the depth of real world data that sits behind them. That creates a real opportunity to turn what we see in incidents into something more forward looking, helping clients and underwriters better understand where risk is building and how to act on it at speed.
Throughout my career, I’ve focused on translating complex technical risk into something clear, practical and usable, whether that’s supporting underwriting decisions or helping security leaders prioritize where to focus. I’m looking forward to helping shape how CFC continues to evolve its proactive capabilities and bringing greater clarity to the risks that matter most for brokers and clients.
