Why Cyber Insurance Underwriting Is Moving to PROOF, NOT PROMISES

Cyber insurance underwriting is changing. The industry is moving away from long questionnaires and toward verifiable risk data. In this episode of the Cyber Insurance News and Information Podcast, Martin Hinton speaks with Jessica Newman, Global GM of Cyber Insurance at Sophos, about how MDR telemetry, continuous evidence collection, and real operational data could reshape how insurers assess cyber risk. For years, cyber insurance underwriting relied on forms and self-attestation. Companies checked boxes and stated they had security controls in place. Insurers then priced policies with limited visibility into what was happening inside the network. That model is starting to change. Jessica explains how Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and telemetry-based insights give insurers real signals about security posture. These signals help underwriters make better decisions, reduce ambiguity, and reward companies that deploy security correctly. They also discuss: • Why cyber insurance underwriting needs verifiable proof of controls • How MDR telemetry provides inside-out risk visibility • Why questionnaires alone no longer work • The role of brokers, buyers, and carriers in cyber insurance • The future of continuous underwriting • How AI is influencing cybersecurity and insurance • What small and medium businesses should do today to improve insurability Jessica also shares her unique path from high school principal to cyber insurance leader, and why communication and education remain critical in cybersecurity.
