Do you have Cyber Insurance?


Many small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), if they have yet to experience the changes in cyber insurance, are in for a surprise. Whether you seek insurance for the first time or renew an existing policy, there will be changes. Cyber insurance concerns are growing. It’s a maturing of the new cyber insurance market and course correction to curb significant direct loss rates. “The price bumps helped the U.S. cyber insurance industry pare back its direct loss ratio, or the percentage of its income that it pays out to claimants, to 65.4% in 2021 from a record of 72.5% in 2020”, as reported in the Wall Street Journal. The reason behind these increases is the rise in cyberattacks, specifically ransomware, phishing, and social engineering attacks. In addition, pandemic and hybrid work arrangements brought swift changes and challenges to business and data security.

May 21, 2023. Ransomware damages are expected to exceed $30 billion worldwide in 2023, InfoSecurity reports. Ransomware attacks are still among the greatest threats to businesses of all sizes. Ransomware is a form of malware that encrypts a victim's files. The attacker then demands a ransom from the victim to restore access to the data upon payment. Unfortunately, since companies need to take prevention seriously and are unwilling to invest in it, ransomware attacks continue to increase. There are several vectors ransomware can take to access a computer. One of the most common delivery systems is phishing spam - attachments that come to the victim in an email, masquerading as a file they should trust. Clicking on the image or downloading the file results in the victims' computers being taken over, especially if they have built-in social engineering tools that trick users into allowing administrative access to their machines. Some other, more aggressive forms of ransomware, like NotPetya, exploit security holes to infect computers without tricking users.
