By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated April 2026 A data breach does not end when the forensic investigation closes. For most businesses, the regulatory phase is where the real financial exposure begins. State attorneys general, federal agencies, and international regulators can all initiate enforcement actions following a breach, and the fines […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated April 2026 Supply chain attacks have become one of the defining cyber threats of the last several years. SolarWinds. Kaseya. MOVEit. Change Healthcare. In each case, attackers did not breach their ultimate targets directly. They compromised a vendor, a software provider, or a shared service […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated April 2026 Most businesses that need cyber insurance do not know how to get it. They know they should have it. A client contract may require it, or a broker mentioned it at renewal, or they read about a ransomware attack that cost a company […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated April 2026 On October 20, 2025, a DNS failure in AWS’s US-EAST-1 region cascaded across more than 140 services. Slack went down.

The Change Healthcare Breach: What Every Healthcare Organization Needs to Know About Cyber Insurance
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated April 2026 In February 2024, attackers affiliated with the ALPHV/BlackCat ransomware group accessed a single Citrix remote access portal at Change Healthcare. The portal had no multi-factor authentication. Nine days later, they deployed ransomware. What followed was the largest cyber event in U.S. healthcare history. […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated April 2026 Business email compromise was already the highest-loss cybercrime category in the United States before artificial intelligence entered the picture. The FBI’s 2025 IC3 report put BEC losses at $2.77 billion across more than 21,000 complaints. That number was built largely on old-fashioned social […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated April 2026 Most businesses buy cyber insurance hoping they never have to use it. But when a ransomware attack hits, a breach notification lands in your inbox, or a wire transfer disappears into a fraudulent account, the policy you bought suddenly becomes the most important […]
By Kyle Sawdey, CRO & EVP of Underwriting, SeedPod Cyber | March 2026 In early January, the Crimson Collective extortion group posted to Telegram claiming they had stolen the personal data of more than one million Brightspeed customers. Names, email addresses, phone numbers, billing addresses, service records, partial payment card data, account status. Brightspeed, a […]
By Kyle Sawdey | CRO & EVP of Underwriting | Updated April 2026 By now, most people in our industry have seen the headlines. Stryker, a Fortune 300 medical device giant with $25 billion in revenue, had its global Microsoft environment hit by a destructive wiper attack on March 11. Over 200,000 endpoints wiped. 50 […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated April 2026 For years, cyber risk conversations focused on stolen data. How many records were exposed? Was customer information compromised? What were the notification costs? That framing is now outdated. Business interruption has overtaken data theft as the single largest financial driver of cyber insurance […]

By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated April 2026 E-commerce businesses occupy an unusual position in the cyber risk landscape. You may not think of yourself as a financial institution or a healthcare organization, but from a cybercriminal’s perspective you hold something equally valuable: a continuous stream of payment card data, customer […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated April 2026 Real estate transactions move large sums of money on tight timelines, with multiple parties exchanging wire instructions over email. That combination, speed, high dollar amounts, and email-dependent coordination, makes mortgage brokers and title companies one of the most targeted business categories in the […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated April 2026 Credit unions sit at the intersection of two things cybercriminals love: member trust and financial data. You hold Social Security numbers, account details, loan records, and direct deposit information for tens of thousands of members. And unlike large banks, most credit unions operate […]
Cyber Insurance for Fintech Companies: Coverage, Risk, and What Underwriters Are Actually Evaluating
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated April 2026 Fintech companies occupy one of the most complex underwriting positions in the entire cyber insurance market. They are technology companies, which means they carry professional liability exposure for platform failures and service errors. They are financial services companies, which means they handle sensitive […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated April 2026 Most SaaS companies approach cyber insurance the same way they approach a vendor security questionnaire. Fill it out, check the boxes, move on. The policy lands in email, someone files it away, and the assumption is that the company is covered. That assumption […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated April 2026 K-12 schools are one of the most targeted sectors in the entire cyber insurance market. The data is not ambiguous about this. The U.S. led the world in education-sector ransomware attacks in 2025 with 130 confirmed and suspected incidents. A RAND Corporation survey […]
Security Controls & Compliance

By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated April 2026 Tech companies and SaaS businesses working toward SOC 2 compliance tend to ask a version of the same question at some point: if we have SOC 2, do we still need cyber insurance? The short answer is yes. But the more useful answer […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated April 2026 Most businesses set up email and never think about it again. The domain works. Mail goes out. Replies come back. That is the entire mental model. It is also why email remains the entry point for the majority of cyber insurance claims filed […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated April 2026 If you have filled out a cyber insurance application in the last 12 months, you have seen the credential and access control questions getting longer. Two years ago, underwriters wanted to know if you had MFA on email and remote access. A year […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated April 2026 If you have filled out a cyber insurance application in the last two years, you have seen the EDR question. It shows up in different forms depending on the carrier, but the intent is always the same: do you have endpoint detection and […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated April 2026 If you have read anything about qualifying for cyber insurance in the last two years, you have seen the phrase “immutable backups” somewhere in the requirements list. It appears in underwriting questionnaires, in policy conditions, in carrier declination letters, and in post-incident forensic […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated April 2026 Most businesses have some version of an incident response plan. It lives in a shared drive somewhere, it was written two or three years ago by someone who has since left the company, and nobody has looked at it since. That document will […]
MSP & Broker Resources
View allSomething fundamental changed in the threat landscape in early 2026. The window between a vulnerability being discovered and an attacker weaponizing it—a window that averaged over two years as recently as 2018—has collapsed to under 24 hours. For Managed Service Providers, this is not a background trend to monitor. It is an operational reality that […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated April 2026 The Short Version Managed security service providers carry a fundamentally different insurance exposure than MSPs. The moment you take on an explicit security mandate, whether that is SOC monitoring, threat detection, incident response, or vulnerability management, you are no longer just managing IT. […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated March 2026 Most MSPs know their clients need cyber insurance. The harder part is the conversation. Clients push back. They say they’re too small to be a target. They say their existing coverage handles it. They ask why their MSP is suddenly talking about insurance. […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated March 2026 When a client suffers a breach, the technical work is only half the battle. The rest is legal, financial, and reputational, and that is where many MSPs get pulled into disputes they were not prepared for. Embedding client-owned cyber insurance into your service […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated March 2026 Cyber insurance has become one of the most complex lines brokers manage. The market has stabilized after years of rate volatility, but that stability has come with a catch: underwriters are more selective than ever about what they’ll bind, and clients are asking […]
By Ryan Windt | Head of Growth Marketing | Updated April 2026 Most MSPs think about cyber insurance as something they have to buy. A compliance requirement. A line item on the renewal list. Something the accountant asks about once a year. The MSPs growing fastest in 2026 are thinking about it differently. They are […]
