Cyber insurance preparedness transcends the benefits of coverage.
Everyone needs some degree of insurance coverage. The exact amount depends on your tolerance for risk and the likelihood of potential claims.
Cyber insurance is taking the IT world by storm with increased demand for transparency.
Now more than ever, clients turn to their MSPs for help reviewing and completing cyber applications.
The stakes are high. “A staggering 84% of US organizations experienced a phishing or ransomware attack in 2021, reports TrendMicro, “And the average ransomware payment was over $500,000.”
The threat landscape is getting worse, affecting businesses of all sizes, as cyber thieves continue to expand Ransomware as a Service (RaaS), subscription-based offerings that allow anyone on the dark side to launch attacks for a modest monthly fee.
You can learn a lot about technology from cybersecurity insurance applications.
You can also get confused because some of the questions oversimplify terminology, transcend IT classifications, and suggest testing exercises that most SMBs cannot afford to undertake.
It’s tough for C-Level executives at SMBs to honestly know the IT department has everything covered.
Are we protected against the latest security vulnerabilities? Do we have a fool-proof backup and disaster recovery plan? Is my team qualified to manage Microsoft 365? Can they confidently answer questions on our cybersecurity policy renewal application?

Despite hypergrowth and widespread market adoption, some small and midsized businesses (SMBs) remain suspicious about the cloud.
If you fall into this category, you’re not alone, and I’m glad you’re here. I can’t wait to share the good news, impart a few caveats, and dismantle some popular myths.
There’s no time like the present!

Agape Youth and Family Center has a bold mission: to empower and support underserved families within its community to discover, embrace, and achieve their full potential.
Co-Managed MSP services don’t always work out as planned.
Bad matches between clients and their MSPs are a two-way street. One company’s best-in-class MSP is another organization’s worst-in-class IT provider.
On the other hand, a very mediocre MSP can serve a business that is way out of its weight class, but not without substantial risk to the client.
Any term with “IT” in the title can be confusing.
MSPs monitor, manage, support, and secure the infrastructure of small and midsize businesses for a fixed fee. Organizations with up to fifty people usually opt for fully managed IT services because they do not have full-time IT staff managing infrastructure.
