Techie Gurus - Your Cyber Team Beyond IT Support — We Deliver Strategic Defense, Clarity, and Confidence.

10/15/2026

Chris Burns (Techie Gurus) and Bob Michie (MetroMSP) go through real U.S. cases where it didn’t, or only paid part of the bill:

An application answer about MFA that got a policy canceled
A wire fraud that was reported a year late
A sublimit that paid less than a third of the loss
An insurer that paid the claim and then sued the IT provider

We read 66 cyber insurance applications and pulled out the ten questions they all ask. Then we cover how to shrink your risk and prove your controls before you hand the rest to an insurer. You’ll also get the five questions to send your broker and your IT provider.

🚨 YOUR NEXT HACKER MIGHT BE 16 YEARS OLD. OR NOT EVEN HUMAN.

And neither cares how small your business is.

� HOW CYBER-SAFE DO YOU THINK PEOPLE REALLY ARE?

It's Cybersecurity Awareness Month, so this week Cyber Unfiltered decided to skip the lecture and play a game.

Over or under?

� How many people have NEVER used a password manager?
� How many actually secure their phone?
� How many consistently back up important files?
� How many admit putting sensitive work information into AI?

Some of the answers surprised us. Others were downright scary.

And apparently, running a security scan doesn't mean anyone actually fixes what it finds. �

Watch this week's Cyber Unfiltered and play along.

How many would YOU get right?

Your team is already using AI. This session covers what that means for your business.

Chris Burns and Mark Skiba of Techie Gurus explain, in plain English, where AI actually helps, what AI agents can do with your logins, and the four ways it goes wrong: data leaks, hijacked assistants, stolen AI keys and deepfakes. You'll also see a live demo of a hidden-instruction attack, and leave with three moves you can make this week.

Everyone gets a free AI Governance in 7 Days workbook. We're also opening 10 free Know Your Exposure Assessments.
