Think Your Business is Safe? Cybercrime is the World’s Third-Largest Economy.

In the IT world, I've seen cybercrime grow exponentially, almost as large as the economies of the US and China.

Imagine if Your Business Had 16 Days of Downtime. 
A typical business grapples with 16 days of downtime during a cyberattack. 

That’s over two weeks of potential revenue loss striking without notice!

Moreover, the implications extend beyond initial disruptions:
-> Operational Shutdown: Imagine your business grinding to a halt due to a cyberattack.
-> Trust at Stake: A single data breach can erode the confidence of clients and partners.
-> Financial Impact: The cost of cyber incidents goes beyond immediate expenses, affecting long-term revenue.
-> Client Loss: Customers seek security; they'll move to competitors if your systems are vulnerable.
Compliance Challenges: Keeping up with legal requirements is key to uninterrupted business growth.

But... There's Hope.

At Intelligent Technical Solutions (ITS), my mission aligns with our goal of providing uncompromised safety.

Look forward to this important discussion!

Cyber insurance won't pay if you can't prove the breach.

No proof, no payout. It's that simple.

Every year, companies lose millions in denied claims. They had coverage. They had a breach. 

What they didn't have was evidence.

𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘀, 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗮𝗽𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗼𝘂𝘁.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀:
• Missing or incomplete logs
• No evidence of security controls before the attack
• Delayed incident reporting
• Gaps in documentation of your response
• Failure to follow your own security policies

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗲:
• Clear, time-stamped incident logs
• Proof you had the right controls before the attack
• Documentation of your response actions
• Evidence you followed policy requirements
  
If you can't hand this over, your claim is dead on arrival.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝘅: Build a system that collects and stores this evidence automatically. Don't wait for a breach to scramble for documentation.

On December 4, Intelligent Technical Solutions and Cork will be breaking it down how to close denial triggers, what evidence to collect, and how a cyber warranty works in the real world.

CCPA began with cookie banners. It’s now becoming a full data governance framework and the businesses that prepare early will avoid the scramble when these deadlines hit.

Stop trying to "𝘀𝗵𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸" your way to healthcare survival. 𝗜𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲.

We recently analyzed a scenario where a rural hospital was looking down the barrel of a $𝟰𝗠 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗶𝘁 due to upcoming HR1 cuts and market shifts.

For most risk managers and administrators, the knee-jerk reaction to a number that big is to cut. Cut services. Cut staff. Cut lines of care.

But as we discussed with Doug McCoy from Eastern Plumas Health Care in our latest webinar, the math has changed. In the current landscape, 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗽.

If you cut services, you lose the community. If you lose the community, you lose the hospital.
Instead, the winning strategy for 2026-2028 is 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

As I’ve sketched out in the infographic below, the path to keeping the doors open involves three distinct plays:

1. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗶𝘃𝗼𝘁: Stop viewing Quality Incentive Programs (QIP) as administrative burdens. Operationalize them as primary revenue streams.
2. 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗿: Physician burnout is a massive financial risk. We have to streamline EHR workflows to reduce friction, allowing your limited staff to do more without breaking.
3. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 "𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁" 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲: Silence breeds panic. You must proactively communicate stability to your community to stop patient out-migration before it starts.
   
The "Cliff" is coming in 2027. 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿.

We are currently helping facilities build this exact roadmap, shifting from reactive survival to proactive resilience.

Super informative conversation with Dan Candee from Cork and our own Sean Harris discussing cyber warranties and how they can help your business during difficult cyber incidents.

Mike Rhea🔒🛡️ Dave Dyas Jason Fontana

Most leaders focus on the cyberattack. The real threat is the cash flow gap that follows.

For many businesses, that gap looks like 𝟭𝟴 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝟰 𝘁𝗼 𝟲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀. That is what you have to close.

• The five denial triggers that quietly sink claims
• Why “being compliant” is different from having proof
• How long can payout delays strain payroll, vendors, and recovery
• What real ACH fraud and SharePoint breach cases look like in practice

A huge thank you to our speakers for making this real for leaders who own the risk:

Investigative reporter, krebsonsecurity.com

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is meeting right now to vote on a proposal to scrap cyber rules that the FCC began adopting during the Biden administration.

https://lnkd.in/e9cHadnz

"The commission first declared that the 1994 Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) “affirmatively requires telecommunications carriers to secure their networks from unlawful access or interception of communications,” and then it proposed specific requirements that telecoms should have to meet."

Pay no mind to the fact that the FBI recently warned the public away from sharing sensitive information over the public telephone networks because they are all so completely owned by state-sponsored hackers from China that they should not be trusted. 

Also, try to ignore the fact that CALEA data is exactly what the Chinese hackers succeeded in gaining access to, including call and text message metadata.

What's clear is that what we've been doing to encourage telcos to care more about prioritizing security is not working at all. That said, they have shown through their actions that they're not going to do it on their own.
