In this engaging episode of the Biz Buzz podcast, host Sreedhar Kaluva sits down with Craig Andrews to discuss the importance of cybersecurity insurance for small businesses. Many entrepreneurs assume that only large corporations are targets for cyberattacks, but as Craig explains, small businesses are increasingly at risk. They often lack the security infrastructure to defend against cyber threats, making them prime targets for hackers and data breaches.

Craig shares expert insights on how small business owners can better understand their cybersecurity exposure and why investing in cybersecurity insurance for small businesses is no longer optional—it’s essential. The discussion explores common misconceptions, such as the belief that basic antivirus software is enough, and emphasizes how cybersecurity insurance provides critical financial protection when incidents occur.

Sree and Craig also cover effective strategies for selling cybersecurity insurance to hesitant clients. Craig highlights the psychological barriers small business owners face, including underestimating their risk or assuming they are too small to be noticed by cybercriminals. By framing cybersecurity as both a business continuity tool and a trust-building measure, he demonstrates how insurance agents can better communicate its value.

Listeners will also learn about practical steps to strengthen their digital defenses, such as implementing two-factor authentication, using secure passwords, and training employees to spot phishing scams.
