What is MFA? Look no further, MFA Explained. In this clip from Cyber Insurance News Podcast EP#5, host Martin Hinton and guest William Altman (Head of Cyber Threat Intelligence at CyberCube) use a simple but powerful analogy to explain the value of multi-factor authentication (MFA).

🔐 Think of MFA as a second lock on your digital door.
Just like burglars avoid homes with alarm systems, cybercriminals look for easy digital targets. Implementing MFA can make your business just secure enough to send attackers looking elsewhere.

✅ Learn why:

MFA is one of the most effective tools in cybersecurity today

Time = risk for hackers, and MFA makes attacks slower

Small businesses are often low-hanging fruit without this protection

Security basics like MFA and credential hygiene can make all the difference

If you’re responsible for cybersecurity in a small business or organization, this is a must-watch.

MFA Explained: Why It’s the Digital Lock Every Small Business Needs
In this clip from our latest podcast, Martin Hinton and William Altman dive into the long-term consequences of data breaches — especially those affecting K–12 students. Highlighting the PowerSchool breach, which exposed 60 million student records, they explore how leaked personal data like mental health history may resurface decades later, leaving individuals vulnerable to fraud, identity abuse, and digital exploitation.

Altman warns that while credit monitoring may address financial risk, it fails to protect against deeper psychological and reputational harm. This conversation is a must-hear for educators, parents, and policymakers thinking beyond immediate breach responses.

Education Cybersecurity Exposed: Long-Term Impact of K–12 Cybersecurity Breaches
The threat of cybersecurity breaches in 2025 and the long-term damage of a cyberattack. In this episode of the Cyber Insurance News Podcast, Executive Editor Martin Hinton interviews William Altman, Head of Cyber Threat Intelligence at CyberCube. They explore the evolving world of cybersecurity and cyber insurance. The episode dives into why small businesses are highly vulnerable, how AI is both a weapon and a shield in cyber defense and the critical gaps in threat intelligence. They also discuss basic measures even the smallest business can take to protect themselves from a cybersecurity breach. 

A spotlight is cast on the education sector, where underfunded cybersecurity programs have made schools a prime target for threat actors. These cybersecurity breaches can have a lasting impact. One alarming breach compromised 60 million K-12 student records, revealing sensitive data like mental health histories, data that can't be “reset” like a credit card. This breach raises urgent concerns about the long-term impacts of cybercrime on students' privacy, identity, and future safety, far beyond the limits of traditional credit monitoring.

They also explore the security posture of the financial sector, the power of identity and privileged access management, and the real-world impact of software vulnerabilities.

🔐 KEY TOPICS:

Cybersecurity strategies for small businesses

The widening cyber insurance protection gap

How AI is used in phishing and threat reconnaissance

Managing software vulnerabilities and patch cycles

Cybersecurity in education and financial sectors

Global threat intelligence trends

📌 Takeaways:

MFA significantly reduces attack success rates.

Small businesses and schools are increasingly at risk.

Sensitive student data breaches have lifelong consequences.

AI is making phishing more personalized and efficient.

MSPs can be critical vulnerabilities in your cyber chain.
