Cybersecurity Preparedness and Cyber Liability Insurance: Prepare, Protect, and Recover

Cyber threats aren’t just a tech problem—they’re a business problem. In this episode, we bring together a CISO and a senior cyber broker to show how organizations can prepare, protect, and recover when ransomware, email compromise, or vendor outages hit at the worst possible moment.

You’ll learn:

What the latest FBI numbers really mean and why human error drives most losses
How to move from vague worry to an evidence-based risk register leadership can fund and track
The essential building blocks of a modern security program: policies people follow, technical controls that stick, and alignment to frameworks like NIST CSF 2.0 or CIS Controls
Recovery strategies that work under pressure: tested business continuity, documented incident response plans, disaster recovery, and the 3-2-1 backup strategy with routine restore testing
Cyber insurance demystified: first- and third-party coverage, breach response, forensic support, business interruption, cyber extortion, social engineering, regulatory actions, and reputational harm
What underwriters expect today—MFA, EDR, offline backups, and phishing training—and how brokers can advocate for better terms
AI-driven scams and verification protocols to strengthen defenses
We also break down how to align your cyber insurance with your security posture, so coverage responds when you need it most. With layered defenses, practiced playbooks, and clear coverage, you can absorb shocks and keep revenue moving.
