Cybersecurity Basics - Two Controls Cut Breach Risk 70%
The nation-state cyber threat is far from fiction. Consider this. A medical device maker gets hit. Surgery schedules slip. The attacker was a nation-state, and they knew exactly what they were looking for.

Michael Crean, Senior Vice President at @SonicWall, joins Cyber Insurance News to explain why the threats targeting power grids and pipelines are the same ones that compromise small businesses every day. The difference is patience, not technique.

We cover the March 2026 Stryker attack, attacker dwell time, the Colonial Pipeline failure, and why cyber insurers are moving from self-attested questionnaires to continuous audit. Plus, the two unglamorous controls Crean says cut compromise risk by roughly 70 percent.

A soldier turned cybersecurity leader, Crean also makes the case for why military veterans are a natural fit for the industry.
