By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated June 2026 Vulnerability management doesn’t generate headlines the way ransomware does. It’s not a flashy control. But ask any underwriter what they’re looking at when a claim comes in, and unpatched systems appear near the top of the list. Carriers have paid out enough claims […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated June 2026 A cyber insurance broker is a licensed professional who represents your interests in the insurance market, not the carrier’s. They access multiple cyber insurance markets on your behalf, present your risk to underwriters, negotiate coverage terms, and make sure the policy you bind […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated June 2026 Every cyber insurance application asks about security controls. The questions vary by carrier, but the controls they care about most have been largely consistent for the past three years: MFA, EDR, immutable backups, email security protocols, privileged access management, and incident response capabilities. […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated September 2026 Most of the conversation about AI and insurance has focused on tech companies: the developers building AI products, the platforms deploying models at scale, the vendors whose software makes recommendations that affect client outcomes. For those businesses, the coverage question runs through Technology Errors […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated June 2026 Most buyers of cyber insurance focus on limits, deductibles, and premium. Few stop to ask which type of policy they are actually buying. That question matters more than it sounds. Whether your policy is written on a claims-made basis or an occurrence basis […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated September 2026 Trucking and transportation companies have become significantly more exposed to cyber risk over the past decade, and most of that exposure crept in through the back door of operational efficiency improvements. Electronic logging devices are now federally mandated and connected to cellular networks. […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated September 2026 Energy and utility companies operate at the intersection of two things that make cyber risk uniquely consequential: critical infrastructure that cannot tolerate extended downtime, and regulatory frameworks that create enforcement exposure layered on top of any incident response cost. For related guidance, see cyber […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated June 2026 Churches, synagogues, mosques, and other religious organizations are not the first entities that come to mind when people think about cybercrime targets. That assumption is exactly why they get hit so often. Religious organizations collect and process more financial data than most people […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated July 2026 Municipalities are among the most targeted organizations in the country for ransomware attacks, and among the least equipped to respond without insurance. Cities, counties, townships, water authorities, and other local government entities hold enormous amounts of sensitive resident data, run aging IT infrastructure […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated June 2026 Cyber insurance shows up in M&A transactions in ways that most deal teams are not fully prepared for, and the surprises almost always favor the other side. A target company’s cyber policy can contain exclusions that survive the transaction and limit coverage for […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated September 2026 Life sciences companies sit at the intersection of two things that make cyber attackers move fast: extraordinarily valuable intellectual property and a regulatory environment where a breach is never just an IT problem. A ransomware attack that locks a biotech company out of […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated June 2026 Getting a cyber insurance quote is straightforward. Understanding why your number lands where it does is what most businesses skip, and it’s why so many end up overpaying or locked into coverage that doesn’t fit their actual risk. This post covers what a […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated May 2026 Most businesses that think they have no cyber coverage actually have some. And most businesses that think their non-cyber policies cover cyber losses are wrong about the specifics. Both problems trace back to the same concept: silent cyber. Silent cyber refers to cyber-related losses […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated September 2026 Veterinary practices store client payment data, personal contact information, and detailed medical histories for thousands of patients. They run on practice information management software that, if taken offline, stops the practice cold. And unlike dental or physician offices, they operate almost entirely outside HIPAA, […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated August 2026 When a breach hits, the meter starts running immediately. External forensic firms bill $300 to $600 an hour, and a thorough investigation of a serious incident runs $150,000 to $500,000 on its own. Breach counsel, notification, and credit monitoring stack on top of that. […]
