  • Bridging Cybersecurity and Finance for Better Insurance Outcomes | 7 Minutes on ITSPmagazine From HITRUST Collaborate 2024 | A HITRUST Short Brand Innovation Story with Monica Shokrai

    Bridging Cybersecurity and Finance for Better Insurance Outcomes | 7 Minutes on ITSPmagazine From HITRUST Collaborate 2024 | A HITRUST Short Brand Innovation Story with Monica Shokrai
    Nov 22 2024

    In this Brand Story episode, recorded live at the HITRUST Collaborate Conference 2024, host Sean Martin sits down with Monica Shokrai, Head of Risk and Insurance for Google Cloud. The topic of conversation centers around cyber insurance, a crucial area impacting organizations across sectors.

    Monica Shokrai leads the charge in managing risk and procuring insurance for Google Cloud, a role that integrates closely with both the finance and security teams. She highlights the unique dual approach of her team, which not only secures coverage for Google but also strategizes on how to leverage insurance to assist Google Cloud customers in mitigating risks.

    A key point discussed is the interdisciplinary nature of cyber insurance. Traditionally managed by the finance or legal departments, Shokrai emphasizes its growing collaboration with cybersecurity teams. She notes that the standard organizational structure often sees a communication divide between finance and security departments. However, the evolving cyber insurance market is pushing these groups closer together, fostering a more integrated risk management strategy.

    Shokrai also shares insights on how Google approaches risk exposure and posture. By modeling risk in-house and leveraging an actuarial team, Google can quantify risks accurately and work closely with security teams. This model not only helps in securing better insurance terms but also aids in understanding and integrating security measures within the organization.

    Another significant point is Google’s innovative approach to automating the cyber insurance process. Through their Risk Protection Program, Google allows security metrics to be shared with insurance partners like Allianz in Munich. This method simplifies the underwriting process and promotes a data-driven approach to evaluating cybersecurity risks, aligning insurers and security teams toward a common goal.

    Overall, the discussion underscores the importance of a cohesive strategy that bridges finance and cybersecurity through innovative risk management and insurance practices. With leaders like Monica Shokrai at the helm, Google Cloud is at the forefront of integrating these critical functions, ultimately benefiting both the company and its customers.

This episode centers on innovative approaches to assessing an organization's risk related to third-party data breaches. Christine Dewhurst and Dr. Thomas Lee present a compelling new people-centric model for determining an organization's exposure to third-party data breaches.Dr. Lee, who holds a PhD in biophysics and operates in California's Silicon Valley, initially approached cybersecurity from a scientific standpoint. He explains that their research focuses on using empirical regression modeling to quantify and predict data breach probabilities based on staffing levels and certifications. His emphasis is on the importance of having enough trained and certified personnel, which includes CISSPs and CISAs, as key indicators of security posture.Christine Dewhurst, based in Toronto, partners with Dr. Lee in applying these mathematical models in practical scenarios. She underscores the critical role of understanding the workforce's capacity to manage and protect data. Dewhurst explains that their model evaluates five key staffing metrics to predict data breach risks, emphasizing that having the right quantity and quality of staff is crucial for robust security. She highlights their unique approach which differs from traditional methods focusing solely on technical controls.The discussion also touches on the surprising significance of audit certifications (CISA) being equally important as technical security certifications (CISSP). This understanding bridges the gap between cybersecurity practices and business management strategies, providing a holistic overview of enterprise security health based on human resources. Christine Dewhurst and Dr. Thomas Lee offer fresh insights into how organizations can strategically enhance their defenses against third-party data breaches.____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsHITRUST: https://itspm.ag/itsphitweb____________________________Follow our SecTor Cybersecurity Conference Toronto 2024 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/sector-cybersecurity-conference-2024-cybersecurity-event-coverage-in-toronto-canadaOn YouTube: 📺 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllSCvf6o-K0forAXxj2P190SBe sure to share and subscribe!____________________________ResourcesA New People-Centric Approach to Determining an Organization's Exposure to a Third-Party Data Breach (Session): https://www.blackhat.com/sector/2024/briefings/schedule/index.html#a-new-people-centric-approach-to-determining-an-organizations-exposure-to-a-third-party-data-breach-41396Learn more about SecTor Cybersecurity Conference Toronto 2024: https://www.blackhat.com/sector/2024/index.html____________________________Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-cybersecurity-society-humanity-conference-and-event-coverageAre you interested in sponsoring our event coverage with an ad placement in the podcast?Learn More 👉 https://itspm.ag/podadplcWant to tell your Brand Story as part of our event coverage?Learn More 👉 https://itspm.ag/evtcovbrfTo see and hear more Redefining CyberSecurity content on ITSPmagazine, visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-cybersecurity-podcastTo see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcast

    First of its Kind Cyber Insurance Product Exclusively Available to HITRUST-Certified Customers | A Brand Story Conversation From HITRUST Collaborate 2024 | A HITRUST Story with Blake Sutherland and Robert Booker
    Nov 8 2024
    In this Brand Story episode, Sean Martin brings together the team from HITRUST, Robert Booker and Blake Sutherland, to discuss the topic of cyber insurance and its current state in the industry. Both guests bring a wealth of experience and insight, with Robert Booker overseeing strategy, research, and innovation at HITRUST, and Blake Sutherland serving as the EVP of Market Engagement.A significant portion of the discussion centers around the role of cyber insurance in today's business environment. Cyber insurance is not just a safety net but a critical aspect of a complete risk management strategy. As Robert Booker points out, it’s an essential service, historically used to cover residual risk after companies have applied their own security measures. However, the market has changed considerably, with new capabilities and approaches evolving over the past several years, making it a dynamic area.Blake Sutherland further elaborates on the issues that organizations face in acquiring cyber insurance today. The process is often cumbersome, involving extensive questionnaires and varied requirements from different underwriters. This can be particularly challenging for mid-market companies that may lack the internal resources to manage these complexities.The episode highlights that HITRUST is addressing these challenges with their R2 certification, which provides an objective, quantifiable measure of an organization’s cybersecurity posture. This certification helps companies not only in fortifying their own security but also in streamlining the insurance acquisition process by offering a standardized measure that underwriters can rely on. According to Robert Booker, this quantified approach can make a significant difference, offering confidence to both the insured and the insurer.Another important aspect discussed is the role of brokerage in this process. Brokers traditionally guide companies through the insurance process, and an R2 certification from HITRUST can greatly assist them in securing better terms and conditions, as it is recognized as a testament to a company's robust security posture. This can also translate into potentially lower premiums and more reliable coverage, addressing one of the largest pain points in securing cyber insurance.The HITRUST Shared Risk Facility is made available exclusively through licensed brokers and can be accessed by any company holding an R2 certification, with plans to extend to I1 and E1 levels in the future. This facility aims to simplify the process, reduce the administrative burden on companies, and provide greater reliability in the insurance coverage.The episode wraps up with an invitation for organizations, brokers, and underwriters to engage with HITRUST to explore these innovative solutions. It’s a call to improve the overall confidence in the insurance landscape through verified, independent measures of cybersecurity maturity, ultimately benefiting all parties involved in the cyber insurance ecosystem.Explore how HITRUST’s R2 certification can enhance your organization's cybersecurity posture and streamline your cyber insurance process.Learn more about HITRUST: https://itspm.ag/itsphitwebNote: This story contains promotional content.
