@brithume The great irony is that, like baseball, soccer can be great, and the score can be low. But you need to know what to watch for, know the game. I also suspect the games you watched as a boy when Truman and IKE were president weren’t all that…

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. Watch the clip - Full episode available now.

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.
