Why Cyber Warranties Are Not Insurance — and Why That Matters


Listen Later

Most people think warranties and insurance are interchangeable.

They’re not

Insurance transfers risk after loss. Warranties enforce behavior before loss.

In this episode of The SafeHouse Podcast, Jeff Edwards speaks with Kirsten Bay, CEO and co-founder of Cysurance, about why warranties are becoming a critical layer in cyber risk management.

We discuss:

  • Why traditional cyber insurance struggles with prevention
  • How warranties tie security controls to real accountability
  • The role of embedded security and measurable outcomes
  • How warranties reduce loss severity and support underwriting
  • What this shift means for insurers, brokers, CISOs, and boards

This conversation reframes how cyber risk is reduced, not just insured.

If you care about resilience, insurability, and prevention-first models, this episode is for you.
