Vol. 2: A Letter from the President of AGP to Executives & Business Owners
“Cyber is no longer just an IT problem.”
Heard that one before?
Yeah, me too. Over. And over. And over.
Buzzwords like ‘resiliency, cyber hygiene, and next-gen security’ flood our feeds, but what truly matters are the real questions we should be asking:
WHY?
What’s the impact if we don’t?
The Reality Check
Over 1,300 breaches are reported every single day.
Threat actors are buying company data on the dark web for pennies, then extorting the same businesses for millions.
Ransomware isn’t just a headline; it’s the fastest way to bring operations to a dead halt.
Stop getting lost in the noise — the endless posts that say, ‘Cyber is not just an IT issue.’
That’s obvious.
The real value comes from asking the questions that actually matter.
Start asking:
Why would attackers single us out — and which hacker groups would see value in making us their target?
Cyber is our biggest business concern. Does our current insurance broker truly have the cyber expertise to manage our largest and most complex claim — or are we trusting the wrong partner?
How could we know if our data is being sold on the dark web right now?
What are hackers saying about our business right now — and are we even listening?
Are we spending money where attackers are actually aiming — or just where it looks good on paper to check the boxes?
What risks are we inviting by kicking the can down the road instead of acting now?
How AGP Helps You Answer the WHY
At AGP, we bridge cyber threat intelligence, insurance, and business language — giving you clarity in four critical ways.
🔹 Cyber Insurance Expertise
We’re not just “connected” to insurance brokers; We were born out of an insurance brokerage; allowing us to think like underwriters. That means we know exactly what controls carriers demand, how they assess your risk, and what it takes to unlock the lowest possible premiums.
The right policy isn’t just paperwork. With a broker who truly understands cyber, you get:
Cost savings by aligning your security investments with what insurers value most.
Faster recovery with built-in access to breach response experts, legal teams, and forensic specialists.
Confidence at the board level knowing you’re not only protected, but also positioned as a lower-risk organization.
Bottom line: Insurance shouldn’t just cover you after the fact - It should reward you for being prepared before it happens.
And that’s exactly where we change the game.
🔹 Actionable Threat Intelligence
Not vendor fluff. We deliver live intel from the dark web, straight from the hackers targeting your business. That’s how you prioritize the right investments based on what’s really coming after you. This intelligence puts executives, security teams, and technicians on the same page using insights straight from the hackers targeting you to drive the right business decisions and make the changes needed to protect your environment.
🔹 Trusted Partner Network
Cyber vendors pop up every day. We’ve already vetted them. You save time, money, and due diligence by leaning on our pre-qualified network with optimized pricing.
🔹 Translation Layer for Executives
We take the tech jargon and translate it into business risk language. That way, your leadership team doesn’t just hear “patch this”… they understand why and what happens if they don’t.
Cyber teams (whether in-house or outsourced MSPs) are the real experts. They live on the battlefield every day, spotting risks before anyone else even knows they exist. They’ve dedicated their careers to keeping your business safe while also fighting internal battles for the budget needed to make the right changes to protect it.
Please listen to them.
At the end of the day, your cyber & IT teams are bringing the expertise you hired them for…yet too often they’re denied the financial approval needed to protect your company. Listening to your teams could save your business.
Let us help translate their security insights into business and ROI language that leadership can act on.
Or, as Jerry Maguire said best: ‘Help me help you.’”
The Bigger Picture
Cyber is the #1 concern for CEOs. Yet too many are still working with brokers who can’t speak cyber.
Ask yourself:
Why wouldn’t you want cyber expertise at the table, when cyber is your biggest business risk?
That’s like trusting your spin instructor to do your root canal.
At AGP, our mission is simple: Protect and Grow Your Business.
We do that by making cyber risk clear, actionable, and connected to your bottom line.
So next time you hear “Cyber is no longer just an IT problem” or “We need to build cyber resiliency” …
Smile, nod, (think of us) and then ask: WHY — and what’s the impact if we don’t?
Let’s keep it real. At AGP, that’s exactly what we do.
