Your insurance policy is not your resilience strategy. For most organizations, it has quietly become a substitute for one. I spoke with TechTarget recently about where cyber insurance starts to break down. Cyber insurance was built for ransomware: predictable adversaries, financial incentives, quantifiable loss. That model doesn’t hold for what’s coming next. State-sponsored attacks on healthcare, energy, and financial systems don’t behave like ransomware. They trigger war exclusions. And when that happens, coverage doesn’t degrade. It goes to zero. The exposure stacks fast — technical recovery, regulatory liability, business interruption, long-tail customer churn. For critical infrastructure, this isn’t a $5M incident. It’s a $100M+ balance sheet event. Most organizations have stress-tested breach response. Almost none have stress-tested recovery assuming the insurance check never arrives. That’s the gap. Is your organization prepared for that scenario — or is it still buried in the renewal deck? 🔗 Full TechTarget feature in comments #CyberSecurity #RiskManagement #CyberInsurance #CriticalInfrastructure
