Episode 29 - Kirsten Bay, CEO of Cysurance
Episode 29
Friday, 16 January, 2026
Kirsten Bay (CEO & Co-Founder, Cysurance) joined me on Cybersecurity 101 with Joe and Larry to talk about something every business leader is feeling right now: Cyber defenses and cyber insurance are no longer separate conversations. Your technical controls increasingly drive financial risk, coverage eligibility, and business outcomes. A few highlights from our discussion: Why the traditional cyber insurance model has struggled — and how real-time, verified controls can reduce friction and uncertainty Cysurance’s approach: embedded, warranty-backed insurance inside cybersecurity solutions for organizations that meet control requirements The most common gaps we see in the real world: incomplete MFA, patching gaps, and firewall hygiene How AI is accelerating social engineering — and why phishing-resistant MFA and data minimization matter more than ever What warranty coverage can include (depending on program): ransomware, BEC, legal liability, business interruption, and gap coverage for out-of-pocket expenses A practical mindset shift: assume breach, build resilience, and prioritize controls that measurably reduce risk If you’re an IT leader trying to lower the total cost of cyber risk—this episode is for you.
