Known for his extensive knowledge on the intersecting worlds of insurance and cybersecurity, Joe offers beneficial insights on the evolving sphere of insurance exclusions and how businesses can navigate these changes amidst the increasing threats of cyber warfare. Tune in as we explore the importance of adopting risk mitigation strategies with tangible security investment returns rather than relying solely on insurance coverage.

Join our profound discussion on the role of senior management in establishing a secure digital environment, starting from understanding IT risks and challenges, creating actionable plans, and sticking to a consistent policy. We also delve deeper into topics like legacy technical debt, the role of a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), gaps in current insurance policies, and breaches of customer contracts owing to the lack of managerial insight in the IT sector.

Listen as we unwrap various complexities surrounding cyber insurance and the emergence of warranties as an alternative, exploring their potential pitfalls and inconsistencies.

From diving deep into the history of insurance to shedding light on the impending exclusions in the upcoming insurance policies, we've got it all covered. Moreover, we highlight the need for skepticism and caution while dealing with Cyber Insurance, emphasizing comprehension over rushing headlong into the risky space of cyber warranties. Also, discover the correlation between proactive security measures and reduced insurance coverage needs, and understand why more insurance doesn't guarantee better safety.

Lastly, our guest Joe Brunsman sheds light on the seldom-discussed aspect of cyber insurance and data security. Learn how states are regulating insurance companies for holding sensitive data and the shockingly minimal regulations surrounding warranty companies. Get enlightened about the real-world realities of cybersecurity and how, despite utilizing SaaS platforms, corporations are not as secured as they think.

“A solution in search of a problem that doesn’t exist.” ~Felicia “I have never seen an industry more abused by their vendors than the MSP space. You have all these private equity bros’ who are like, oh its grow, we have to get our piece of the pie. I’m like, how about you juts find a way to legitimately help MSPs, that are providing a good service, that need help. Ad apposed to, trying to do all these work arounds, finding an angle to make your money so you can exit and then it’s the next guy’s problem. Just help the people that need help that are doing the good work of trying to get these SMB’s to be secure.” ~Joe “I can tell you why its not just that industry but why a lot of industries function that way; because parasitism is highly popular.” ~Felicia Amen. Thanks for another great podcast Felicia. Your (QPC’s) podcasts serve as a great example of a company doing exactly what Joe is referring to by ”just helping people trying to secure SMB’s.” Speaking as a small MSP in a world of big players all looking for a piece of the pie at any cost; it’s a jungle out here and your podcasts are truely insightful and a source of great help.
