  Implementing Zero Trust in a complex federal environment includes protecting data. To reach this goal, CISA has updated its recommendations for Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation program called the Data Model Document (DMD). It provides the audience with a mechanism to focus on the most recent relevant changes without having to review the document in its entirety.   Today, we sat down with three experts to unpack some of the expanded concepts.   The first challenge is understanding the variety of systems. For example,  Daniel Ane from the TSA shared that they had to report data from eighty different systems. The only time efficient way to collect this varying data is with specific tools.   There is also a matter of control. Mark Hadley from the PNL shares that much critical infrastructure is  owned by the private sector, which can limit what kind of data can be collected.   Finally, Brian Meyer from Axonius makes a practical observation. Let us say you have a set of tools that accomplish the job of accurate data collection. If one gets updated, it can throw the entire compliance process out the window.   It seems obvious that adhering to the strictures of the Data Model Management recommendations will assist in a move to Zero Trust, but administering DMD needs guidance and a data strategy that is practical.

A new report from Verisk predicts a “new reality” in future natural catastrophes, with unprecedented global losses to exceed $152 billion annually.  It's being driven by “frequency perils” − frequent events, such as daily afternoon summer storms and hurricanes, that are driving high-impact losses.Former Florida Deputy Insurance Commissioner Lisa Miller sits down with a Verisk modeler and a Florida property insurance company meteorologist and risk analyst, to discuss how catastrophe modeling works, how insurance companies use it to set homeowners rates, and its importance in understanding and mitigating extreme weather risks now and in the future.Show Notes  (For full Show Notes, visit https://lisamillerassociates.com/episode-60-our-growing-catastrophe-risk/) The podcast discusses the increasing frequency and severity of storms and their impact on property insurance rates, particularly in Florida.  Dr. Julia Borman is Assistant Vice President of the Regulatory and Rating Client Services Team at Verisk.  It's part of the data analytic firm's Extreme Event Solutions division, which assists clients in working with regulators and rating agencies on a variety of projects, including data calls, utilizing catastrophe modeling in rating plans, and stress tests.  Natalie Ferrari is a Meteorologist and Catastrophic Risk Analyst for American Integrity Insurance Company, based in Tampa, Florida.  She provides data-driven insights into developing storms and their potential impacts by leveraging Verisk's modeling.  Together, with host Miller, they explored the evolving landscape of catastrophic risk modeling in rate filings and regulatory processes, the intensifying impact of extreme weather, and the need for resilience and preparedness in the face of natural disasters that modeling can guide.Catastrophe Models: The Backbone of Modern InsuranceVerisk's newest report, Modeling Insured Catastrophe Losses: A Global Perspective for 2025, projects expected future global losses to exceed $152 billion annually.  That's up from the $132 billion annual average loss over the past five years.  Host Miller quoted Verisk Extreme Event Solutions President Rob Newbold's remarks on the September 2025 report, that “the modeled losses reflect a fundamental shift in the risk landscape.  Natural catastrophe losses are no longer statistical anomalies.  They are the new normal.”  Borman said the report's $152 billion figure is a particularly significant one, given that the actual global losses in 2024 were around $137 billion.  “Over half of it was what we call frequency peril loss.  You used to hear around the industry, folks were calling things like severe thunderstorms and wildfire ‘secondary perils.'  We don't call them that at Verisk anymore.  They are frequency perils based on the fact that they happen often, typically within a year and those can really aggregate up into a large proportion of an insurance company's overall loss for the year,” Borman said.The catastrophe models look at a variety of different perils, including hurricanes, earthquakes, flooding, wildfires, and winter storms.  “We were writing the report not just to understand the total amount of loss, but also the insurance gap that might exist around the world and where that was most prevalent,” she added.   (For full Show Notes, visit https://lisamillerassociates.com/episode-60-our-growing-catastrophe-risk/)

Send me a messageIn this week's episode of the Climate Confident Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Gary Yohe, one of the world's leading climate economists, long-time IPCC author, and a member of the Nobel Peace Prize, winning IPCC team of 2007. Gary has spent over four decades shaping how we understand climate change, not just as an environmental issue, but as a fundamental risk management challenge.We explore his powerful framework: abate, adapt, or suffer. These are, he argues, the only three choices humanity has left, and crucially, some level of suffering is now unavoidable. Mitigation slows the pace of warming, adaptation reduces impacts, but neither can eliminate all risks. The insurance crisis unfolding in California and beyond shows what happens when climate risks become uninsurable, raising the threat of financial instability on a global scale.Gary also reminds us that climate decisions must be iterative. Policies cannot be fixed for 100 years; they must evolve as science, technology, and risk tolerance change. He illustrates this with striking examples, from New York's evacuation planning after Hurricane Sandy to San Francisco's flexible approach to sea-level rise.Yet, despite the scale of the challenge, Gary insists on hope, not blind optimism, but the conviction, as Václav Havel wrote, that action makes sense regardless of outcome. It's this perspective that has kept him, and many others, working relentlessly on solutions for over 40 years.If you want to understand why climate change is ultimately a risk management problem, why insurance, finance, and resilience are inseparable, and why hope is a strategy we can't do without, this episode is essential listening.Podcast supportersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's amazing subscribers: Ben Gross Jerry Sweeney Andreas Werner Stephen Carroll Roger Arnold And remember you too can Subscribe to the Podcast - it is really easy and hugely important as it will enable me to continue to create more excellent Climate Confident episodes like this one, as well as give you access to the entire back catalog of Climate Confident episodes.ContactIf you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - get in touch via direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.

Sen. Scott DeLano, a Republican from Biloxi, says Mississippi has done little to help protect South Mississippians from storm damages and residents statewide from rising insurance costs in the 20 years since Hurricane Katrina. He says Mississippi lags behind other Gulf states, in part, because the state insurance commissioner has not pushed for a robust mitigation program. DeLano also addresses his recent social media post blasting a state Republican think tank leader's comments that many viewed as racist.

Recent Ten Across Conversations episodes have considered how current changes in staffing, research, and responsibilities within federal agencies like FEMA and NOAA may affect disaster readiness and response at the local level. Many cities find themselves pressed to rethink how their own limited resources might secure the information and support necessary to address the growing risks they face.  Collaborative regional networks are proving to be one way to achieve much greater returns on investments of local time and funds. The Mississippi River Cities and Towns Initiative (MRCTI) has become an outstanding example of this type of work. Formed in 2012, this innovative coalition of 105 mayors from cities along the main stem of the Mississippi has spearheaded programs in vital policy areas including clean water, sustainable economies, and climate resilience.  Among their most interesting efforts from a Ten Across perspective is the pilot parametric insurance policy MRCTI is developing with global reinsurer Munich Re. When realized, this program would allow member cities to opt in to a customized, shared insurance pool that could rapidly fund local emergency response based on predefined environmental trigger events.  Listen in as City of Gretna Mayor and MRCTI Louisiana Chair Belinda Constant joins MRCTI's executive director, Colin Wellenkamp, and Ten Across founder Duke Reiter to discuss how collaboration can help defend against more frequent and costly risks.  Relevant articles and resources  “Trump moves to end NASA missions measuring carbon dioxide and planet health” (PBS, August 2025)  “Trump, who called FEMA ‘slow,' is making people wait months for help” (E&E News by Politico, May 2025)  “As Mississippi River towns experience whiplash between drought and flood, mayors look to new insurance model” (The Lens, November 2024)  Relevant Ten Across Conversations podcasts  Why the Ten Across Geography Needs FEMA with Dr. Samantha Montano  Beyond the Forecast: TV Meteorologists Weight in on Climate Challenges  Past and Future Resilience Along the Mississippi with Boyce Upholt  Want to Understand the Future of Climate Resilience?

Motorcyclists love the freedom of the open road. But freedom isn't free, and sometimes the price incautious riders pay after a crash is severe brain injury or even death; both, the statistics tell us, are avoidable by wearing a helmet certified by testing. Outfitting with appropriate riding gear is key to maximizing the odds of--literally--walking away from a motorcycle crash. Today, we talk to Hong Zhang, director of education for the Snell Foundation--a leading national nonprofit dedicated to setting the most effective helmet safety standards--and TTI's Cathy Brooks, project specialist in the Institute's Road User Safety Program. | For more information on the Snell Foundation

Richmond recently released a plan to tackle the urban heat island effect, but the federal spending bill signed on Friday impacts its potential funding. In other news: Virginia's ban on conversion therapy for minors was altered by a court's decree to permit talk therapy; a Charlottesville zoning lawsuit was thrown out — and more Central Virginia news. 

In this episode, we continue our exploration of how utilities are working to mitigate the threat of wildfires with a look at how PG&E is transforming its grid to reduce ignition risk throughout its 70,000-square-mile service area. Host Dave Whitehead is joined by James Tuccillo, manager of distribution and asset planning, to discuss PG&E's multi-pronged strategy, which includes an ambitious plan to underground 10,000 miles of power lines. James also shares insights into how advanced, staged-fault testing and high-impedance fault detection technology are reshaping how utilities detect and respond to downed conductors—before they spark a fire.

This week, we are joined by John Hammond, Principal Security Researcher at Huntress, who is sharing his PoC and research on "CVE-2025-30406 - Critical Gladinet CentreStack & Triofox Vulnerability Exploited In The Wild." A critical 9.0 severity vulnerability (CVE-2025-30406) in Gladinet CentreStack and Triofox is being actively exploited in the wild, allowing remote code execution via hardcoded cryptographic keys in default configuration files. Huntress researchers observed compromises at multiple organizations and confirmed hundreds of vulnerable internet-exposed servers, urging immediate patching or manual machineKey updates. Mitigation guidance, detection, and remediation scripts have been released to help users identify and secure affected installations.
