Cyber Insurance market challenges
The cyber insurance market faced several challenges in the past year:
📌 Lack of Historical Data: The cyber insurance industry has struggled with a lack of historical data, making it difficult to predict future cyber risks and set prices for cyber insurance.
📌 High Demand, Limited Supply: The demand for cyber insurance has been increasing, but limited capacity on the supply side has led to rising rates and adjustments in coverage, terms, and conditions.
📌 Risk Miscalculation: The cyber insurance market has experienced significant losses due to risk miscalculation, leading to a shift in the market from a soft cycle, characterized by lower premiums and higher limits, to a hard cycle, resulting in skyrocketing insurance premiums.
📌 Unsuitable Underwriting Practices: The market has been characterized by unsuitable underwriting practices, with insurers developing stricter requirements for policies, causing the number of insurable companies to decline and the demand to skyrocket.
📌 Systemic Cyber Risk: The possibility of a large-scale attack where losses are highly correlated across companies makes it difficult to write comprehensive policies.
📌 Sector-Specific Challenges: Specific sectors with historically poor security postures, like education, or highly targeted sectors, like software developers, may have a more challenging time obtaining coverage.
