New Podcast Episode 🎙️

Cyber insurance underwriting is entering a new phase.

In this clip, Jessica Newman, Global GM of Cyber Insurance at @Sophos, explains the industry shift toward telemetry-based cyber insurance underwriting powered by continuous data.

Extinction is coming for the questionnaire. Not by asteroid, by cybercrime and technical catastrophe. Insurers increasingly want verifiable risk data that shows how security actually performs inside an organization.

This is just one part of a wider conversation in our latest Cyber Insurance News & Information Podcast episode hosted by Martin Hinton.

Other topics we cover:

1. Why cyber insurance underwriting is moving beyond questionnaires.
2. The growing role of MDR telemetry in cyber risk assessment.
3. How insurers evaluate verifiable security controls.
4. Why brokers, buyers, and carriers sometimes talk past each other.
5. The future of continuous underwriting and real-time risk data.
6. The role AI may play in cybersecurity and insurance.
7. What small and medium businesses should do to improve insurability.
8. Where the cyber insurance market may head in the next 12–18 months.

And, finally, Jessica’s path from high school principal to cybersecurity leader.

Ransomware negotiation is not purely technical, it’s human. In this clip from our latest Cyber Insurance News & Information Podcast, host Martin Hinton asks about guilt, blame, fear, and disruption. Kurtis Minder explains how technology can dehumanize high-pressure moments and why recognizing that both victims and adversaries are people changes communication and improves outcomes.

Why it matters
1️⃣ Language and tone influence leverage during a negotiation.
2️⃣ Adversaries often act with motives and egos; acknowledging that improves message discipline.
3️⃣ Teams under stress need structured communication to reduce risk and error.

🚨 NEW PODCAST 🚨

Criminals always go where the valuables are. In today’s workplace, that vault full of valuables is no longer the desktop; it’s the browser.

In this clip from the Cyber Insurance News & Information Podcast, Vivek Ramachandran, founder of SquareX, explains why browser security is now the frontline of digital defense. @getsquarex

Key insight:
1️⃣ Employees spend 90% of their time in browsers.
2️⃣ Attackers now target browser identities, extensions, and cloud access instead of traditional endpoints.
3️⃣ Without BDR (Browser Detection and Response), companies leave the new “digital vault” wide open.

📺 New Podcast Episode - What happens when your business faces a cyberattack?

The answer often comes down to incident response and whether you were prepared before the crisis hit. What does your cyber insurance actually cover?

In the latest episode of the Cyber Insurance News & Information Podcast, Martin Hinton speaks with Joseph Wright, at Blue Team Alpha (@BTAcyber), about:

1️⃣ The real cost of cyber recovery (it’s often 10–15x more expensive than prevention)
2️⃣ Why proactive incident response saves money and reputations
3️⃣ The hidden human and financial toll of data breaches
4️⃣ How small and medium-sized businesses can prepare now

Wright’s message is clear: don’t wait until disaster strikes. The time to think about incident response is today.
