In this episode of the Identity at the Center (IDAC) podcast, hosts Jim McDonald and Jeff Steadman have an in-depth discussion about cyber insurance with guest Jason Rebholz, Chief Information Security Officer at Corvus Insurance. Jason also hosts the popular Teach Me Cyber YouTube channel and shares his journey into security content creation.
Topics covered around cyber insurance include an overview of what it is, what protections it offers, what type of companies need it, as well as best practices for completing applications. They discuss key security controls that insurance carriers look for, with a focus Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), and resilient backups.
Jason offers perspective into the evolving role of insurance providers, not just in paying claims, but in coordinating incident response and providing value-added services to policyholders. This includes recommending and connecting customers to vetted vendors, reviewing response costs, and helping plan remediation efforts.
Other discussion areas include common mistakes applicants make on cyber insurance questionnaires and how to provide proper context to underwriters. The group also talks through emerging technologies like Privileged Access Management (PAM) and AI that enterprises should be aware of.
On the lighter side, Jason shares his passion for indoor rock climbing and how the sport connects to his work in security with skills like problem solving, mental mapping, and dealing with constant change.
