What MSPs need to know about cyber insurance today

Stephen Nichols, director of solution engineering for Acronis

As ransomware and other attacks have become ubiquitous, so has cyber insurance as businesses try to ensure they’re covered if the worst should happen. However, insurance companies are loathed to lose money, meaning that MSPs and their customers must stay on their toes to stay protected.

In this edition of the podcast, we’re joined by Acronis’ Stephen Nichols to discuss what MSPs need to know about cyber insurance in today’s rapidly changing security and business environment.

We discuss:

  • why requirements for insurance have changed so much in recent years;
  • what insurance providers are looking for in terms of coverage;
  • what MSPs are doing to maximize the opportunity around cyber insurance;
  • what cyber insurance covers, and how that’s trending;
  • the liability solution providers face, and what they can do to manage that risk best;
  • how to raise the bar on the minimum security stack you require, and when to fire a customer over their security choices;
  • ways to make cyber insurance as affordable as possible a product for your customers;
  • the benefits of making close connections with a cyber insurance provider, and
  • how do MSPs future-proof their security offerings

All this and much more are in this edition of the ChannelBuzz.ca Podcast.
