The Results keep coming in…
“We were relieved to see our CYBERISKIQ report; we had no idea how much risk we were exposed to.” CFO, Global IT Provider.
“After we received our report from CYBERISKIQ, we understood and fixed our Cyber Security deficiencies with our MSSP. We also increased our Cyber Insurance with our Broker to a limit that fit our true financial risk.” CFO, Major U.S.A Tech University.
“Being a small business, we didn’t think we needed Cyber Insurance until we connected with the CYBERISKIQ Team. Our Insurance Broker got us an inexpensive policy in 2 days” Owner, Property Management Company.
Here’s how it happened.
For years, Ralph Pasquariello, a Property & Casualty Insurance Agent, and Craig Sekowski, Tech Entrepreneur, worked together as clients and colleagues. Their shared expertise and vision led to the founding of CYBERISKIQ, a company dedicated to redefining cyber risk management. They’re Cyber Insurance Experts.
Ralph Pasquariello, CLCS, Co-Founder: With 25 years in printing before shifting to insurance in 2009, Ralph specialized in commercial and cyber insurance, moderating and speaking at cyber liability conferences, and collaborating with the FBI and US Secret Service Cyber Fraud Task Force. He co-created the CARE-Report and, in 2025, with Craig Sekowski, launched CYBERISKIQ’s expanded Cyber Business Impact Assessment Report.
Craig Sekowski, CEO & Co-Founder: An industry Cyber Advisory SME, Craig is renowned for his work in cyber financial quantitative risk and translating technical threats into business impacts, using Insurance Risk Analytics, helping define cyber insurance. With over 30 years in IT, security, AI, and compliance, Craig advises Fortune 1000 companies and collaborates with the US Secret Service Cyber Fraud Task Force, helping organizations align cyber risk with business performance. His mantra is to save companies before an incident occurs. We help CFOs, CISOs, and CIOs identify “cyber insurance coverage gaps”.
Industry reports revealed that 80% of companies were underinsured against cyber threats, motivating Ralph and Craig to intensify their outreach. CYBERISKIQ gained traction, with family involvement in branding and marketing. Ralph emphasized the importance of challenging clients to ensure they are properly protected, rather than simply checking the box on insurance.
June 24, 2024: Ralph and Craig were keynote speakers at the US Secret Service Cyber Summit at the Mercedes-Benz Conference Center, launching their resilience program to CFOs and CTOs of major corporations in the Southeast. As members of the Cyber Crimes Task Force (US Secret Service) for over a decade, they contributed valuable insights to the conference.
Cybercrime costs are projected to reach $15.63 trillion by 2029, rising nearly 70% in five years. This underscores the need for organizations to manage cyber risk rather than react to threats in a proactive and strategic manner. With AI-driven attacks and 20 million global cyber incidents daily, the threat landscape is ever-expanding.
CYBERISKIQ’s approach translates cyber threats into business and financial terms, providing leadership with actionable intelligence. Their Cyber Business Impact Analysis and Financial & Security Risk Quantification empower organizations to make informed strategic decisions. They use NIST, CIS, and FAIR methodologies in their framework. They’re the Go-To CRQ for CFOs.
The insurance limit struggle is real. For the past 15 years. CFO’s have struggled with the intricacies of deciding what is needed for Cyber Insurance for their companies.
Being in compliance is different than being secure. CFO’s based their limits on being in compliance with third-party contracts. This led to inaccurate limits, coverage and lack of addressing additional security threats.
