Practical Cybersecurity Series – Episode 5 – Cyber Insurance 101 – what it is, what it isn’t
🎙️ Episode: Cyber Insurance 101: What It Is, and What It Isn't
In this episode of the Practical Cybersecurity Series by Sec Oops, powered by Cyber View Point, we tackle a topic that causes massive confusion in boardrooms everywhere: Cyber Insurance. We open with an uncomfortable truth: buying an insurance policy is not a magical get-out-of-jail-free card for security failures.
The team breaks down the origins of the cyber insurance market—from its early days at the 1997 "Breach on the Beach" party to the explosion of state data breach notification laws that forced companies to publicly disclose incidents and face massive financial costs. We explain how the aftermath of massive early breaches, like the 2006 TJX incident, devolved into bitter legal battles over liability, driving organizations to seek out cyber insurance simply to transfer the blame onto a third party.
We walk through the harsh limitations of these policies and what they don't cover. We examine why traditional Commercial General Liability (CGL) policies won't save you from a data breach, and highlight the chilling Mondelez vs. Zurich case, where insurers used a standard "Act of War" loophole to deny coverage for the devastating NotPetya attack.
From there, we get practical: addressing the quantification problem actuaries face with interconnected "correlated losses", and exploring why shifting from a reactive compliance checklist to a proactive Enterprise Cyber Risk Management (ECRM) strategy is your best defense. We discuss why insurance might spread financial loss, but completely fails to duplicate the deterrence function needed to force better security practices.
👉 Tune in to learn why you can outsource your financial risk, but you can never outsource your reputation—and walk away with the insights you need to read the fine print, close the loopholes, and treat cyber threats as a core business risk today.

Practical Cybersecurity Series – Episode 4 – How to Secure Remote Work and Hybrid Offices
🎙️ Episode: How to Secure Remote Work and Hybrid Offices
In this episode of the Practical Cybersecurity Series by Sec Oops, powered by Cyber View Point, we confront the security reality that most organisations are still catching up to: the office perimeter is gone — and the attackers already know it.
We open with an uncomfortable truth: every kitchen table, coffee shop, and hotel lobby where your employees work is a potential entry point for a breach. The traditional firewall protected everyone when everyone was in the same building. That model is dead.
The team breaks down the full remote attack surface — unpatched home routers, personal devices mixing with corporate data, public Wi-Fi, and shadow IT — and explains why remote and hybrid workers have become the number one target for phishing and social engineering attacks. Isolation removes the instinct to "just ask a colleague," and attackers exploit that gap with precision.
We walk through the evolution of remote access — from ageing VPNs that hand attackers the keys to the entire network, to Zero Trust Network Access, where every connection is verified, every device is checked, and no one gets more access than they actually need.
From there, we get practical: securing the home office, managing personal devices, locking down cloud applications like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, and defending against MFA fatigue attacks that bypass even multi-factor authentication.
👉 Tune in to learn why in a distributed world every employee is the perimeter — and walk away with a concrete remote security starter pack your team can begin implementing today.

Practical Cybersecurity Series – Episode 3 – Incident Response on a Budget
🎙️ Episode: Incident Response on a Budget
In this episode of the Practical Cybersecurity Series by Sec Oops, powered by Cyber View Point, we tackle the security discipline most small and mid-sized teams know they need — but assume they can't afford: Incident Response.
We open with an uncomfortable scenario — a ransomware attack at a business with no IR plan, no defined roles, and no tested backups. Not because they lacked good intentions, but because they assumed IR was an enterprise problem. It isn't.
The team walks through how a real attack unfolds — from a single phishing email or exposed remote desktop port, through silent lateral movement and privilege escalation, all the way to the ransom note. By the time most teams react, the attacker has already been inside for days.
We break down the six phases of incident response and explain why Preparation is the only one you can control before an incident hits. From there, we get practical — covering how to build an IR plan, assemble a jump kit, write scenario-specific playbooks, and run tabletop exercises, all without a dedicated security team or enterprise budget.
We also cover what detection looks like without a SIEM, why the "5% of data tells most of the story" principle changes how you think about logging, and why the Lessons Learned phase — the one most teams skip — is the most valuable of all.
👉 Tune in to learn why incidents are inevitable but chaos is optional — and walk away with a concrete IR starter pack your team can begin building today.
