Episode 133 of Talk To Th3 Doc features Justin Reinmuth, President of TechRug (Technology Risk Underwriting Group). We break down what cyber insurance actually pays for, where coverage gaps hide, and why the two claims SMB leaders keep seeing are ransomware and business email compromise (BEC).
Top Takeaway: Cyber insurance isn’t a strategy — it’s a backstop. Your controls and processes determine whether a claim goes smoothly… or sideways.
