About this episode

Matt Lee discusses the cybersecurity poverty line and its implications for the market.

Matt Lee breaks down a hard truth: much of the market is operating below a viable cybersecurity baseline. He explains the concept of the “cybersecurity poverty line,” how managed service agreements often mask unmitigated risk, and why insurers are shifting responsibility downstream. This conversation explores the economic realities behind cyber risk and what it means for resilience across SMBs, MSPs, and the broader ecosystem.
