Brokers Don’t Need a PhD in Cyber to Launch it as a Profitable Business Line (w/Brian Fritton, CEO, Havoc Shield)

Brian Fritton is CEO at Havoc Shield, having built his previous startup into a crowdfunding machine that originated over a billion dollars in real estate loans which led to a successful exit.  Brian has also been responsible for defending a small business from cyberattacks as CTO at Patch of Land and the VP of Engineering for a an enterprise data science software maker. He is a 2020 TechStars Alumni and Founding Member of Forbes Technology Council. Today Brian talks about the founder’s perspective to cybersecurity in an increasingly complicated and risk-filled, constantly evolving cyber risk environment. He says Havoc Shield has done what TurboTax did for personal finance, turning Cyber into a step-by-step plan so companies get it right.  Brian sees a connection to insurance having built a product for brokers looking to enter the cyber space that performs a fitness assessment helping to understand the technical jargon and mapping carriers requirements, building a full evidence package for underwriting that speeds their approvals process.  Brian gives a tip that multi-factor authentication is one of the first steps that insured parties should implement, despite the minor inconvenience, the ROI on multi-factor is well worth it.  Follow the Insurtech Leadership Podcast airing weekly hosted by Joshua R.
