Hashtag Realtalk with Aaron Bregg
Welcome to my little corner of the Internet!
In this channel I give 'real talk' about information security and technologies that impact both your business and personal lives. I try and focus on issues and items that can help you become more 'security curious'. The ultimate goal of help protect your personal and professional well being.

Episode 28 - Ransomware Fallout: Talking Cyber Liabilities and Insurance
In this special holiday episode I have both a special guest and a special co-host. My co-host is Jim Kuiphof and we got a chance to talk with Tim Francis about Cyber Insurance and Liabilities pertaining to ransomware attacks. Jim in a Director of Information Security for Spectrum Health and Tim is a Enterprise Lead for Cyber Insurance at Travelers.
These are just some of the questions and topics that we covered:
- What is cyber liabilities insurance and why do some think they don't need it?
- While ransomware attacks are increasing in the public eye, some websites are reporting that ransomware attacks aren't being reported and that is a problem.
- What trends are you seeing in the insurance industry right now?
- Are attacks truly going up or it is just that there is more 'visibility' in to this area of cybersecurity?
- Why are some incidents just not being talked about?
A HUGE thanks to the following sponsors, as we raised over $1,500 for three charities!
Also a shout out to Brock from Okta, Ryan from Optiv and Allan from Recorded Future for supplying some great prizes!
