Cyber Insurance Blind Spots: Why 85% Of Attacks Never Go Public

Most companies think they understand their cyber risk. They filled out the questionnaire. They renewed the policy. They checked the box. According to cyber insurance experts Ralph Pasquariello and Craig Sekowski of CYBERRISKIQ, that confidence is one of the most dangerous blind spots in corporate America today.In this episode of the Cyber Insurance News and Information Podcast, Ralph and Craig return as guests to discuss the cyber insurance gaps that leave organizations exposed precisely when they think they are protected.WHAT WE COVER:- Why less than 15% of successful cyber attacks ever become public and what that means for how companies assess their own risk.- The 200-day average dwell time attackers spend inside corporate networks before detection.- How AI is being used on both sides of the cyber fight and why your current policy may not cover an AI-enabled attack.- Why renewing your cyber insurance policy annually without review is leaving companies dangerously exposed.- Third party damages, class action exposure, and why sublimits matter more than most CFOs realize.- CYBERRISKIQ's induction into the Society of Risk Management Consultants and what it signals about cyber's growing role in enterprise risk management.- Why the current flat pricing market is an ideal window to add coverage layers without doubling premiums.ABOUT THE GUESTS:Ralph Pasquariello and Craig Sekowski are the founders of CYBERRISKIQ, a cyber insurance and cybersecurity advisory firm.
