Cyber Risk Quantification
October 13, 2023
In this episode of The SafeHouse Podcast, we’re joined by Ryan Ettridge, CEO of CyberCert, an Australian innovator helping SMBs and enterprises turn compliance into measurable cyber resilience.
Titled Cybersecurity Frameworks Made Practical: From Confusion to Clarity, this conversation tackles a problem many organizations struggle with: cybersecurity frameworks that look good on paper but feel overwhelming or unusable in practice.
Ryan explains how AI-driven cyber certification can help organizations predict where risk is most likely to surface, prevent disruption before it becomes a claim, and protect both insureds and carriers by creating clear, defensible signals of cyber maturity.
We also dig into how certification data can bridge the long-standing gap between technology teams and the cyber insurance ecosystem — giving brokers, underwriters, and policyholders a shared, practical language for risk, resilience, and insurability.
If you’re dealing with framework fatigue and want a clearer path from compliance to real-world readiness, this episode brings it back to fundamentals.
Predict. Prevent. Protect.

In this SafeHouse episode, Jeff Edwards and Alan Gin break down what actually happens when a cyber incident hits and what you should do next.
This conversation is based on a real-world, three-part series designed for everyday people who suddenly find themselves dealing with a hacked account, fraud, or a suspicious alert.
If you’ve ever wondered what you would actually do in that moment, this episode walks you through it step by step.
Kurt Suhs, Founder and CEO of Concierge Cyber, unpacks why cyber insurance adoption remains low and what businesses are actually doing instead.
Learn how businesses think about risk when they don’t have coverage and why complexity and policy structure are major barriers.
Cyber risk management is often framed as a choice between prevention and insurance. In reality, the most resilient organizations combine both.
In this episode of The SafeHouse, Jeff Edwards speaks with Michael Phillips, Global Head of Cyber at Coalition, about how insurers evaluate cyber risk and why mitigation and insurance must work together.
Building on a previous discussion about the elements of risk management, the conversation explores how underwriters think about cyber exposure, what signals insurers look for when assessing organizations, and why operational resilience is becoming central to modern cyber insurance.
The result is a practical discussion about how businesses should approach cyber risk today.
