Episode 28 - Ransomware Fallout: Talking Cyber Liabilities and Insurance

In this special holiday episode I have both a special guest and a special co-host.  My co-host is Jim Kuiphof and we got a chance to talk with Tim Francis about Cyber Insurance and Liabilities pertaining to ransomware attacks.  Jim in a Director of Information Security for Spectrum Health and Tim is a Enterprise Lead for Cyber Insurance at Travelers.

These are just some of the questions and topics that we covered:

• What is cyber liabilities insurance and why do some think they don't need it?
• While ransomware attacks are increasing in the public eye, some websites are reporting that ransomware attacks aren't being reported and that is a problem. 
• What trends are you seeing in the insurance industry right now?
• Are attacks truly going up or it is just that there is more 'visibility' in to this area of cybersecurity?
• Why are some incidents just not being talked about?
