The next generation of cyber starts with insurance - Resilience

Implement deceptive technologies (bait) to identify attackers early and track their movements without risking critical infrastructure.

Most breaches can be prevented by focusing on the 20% of actions that provide 80% of security benefits. Solving Cyber Risk

Prepare, maintain, and test plans. Run periodic exercises with simulations of realistic adverse events. 2. The 80/20 Rule of Cyber Risk

Solving cyber risk requires moving beyond a "prevention-only" mindset to adopt a holistic strategy that treats cyber incidents as inevitable and focuses on resilience, risk transfer, and continuous mitigation. Because cyber risk is fundamentally a human problem—driven by attacker behavior and employee error—solutions must focus on both technical controls and organizational culture. The next generation of cyber starts with insurance

Educate employees to recognize phishing attempts and follow secure travel protocols (e.g., avoiding unsecured public Wi-Fi).

The goal is to move from trying to stop every attack (impossible) to building resilience, which limits the financial and operational damage when incidents occur. Run periodic exercises with simulations of realistic adverse

Establish automated, central patching to close vulnerabilities promptly.
