Driving Factor

Increased the sophistication and frequency of cyber-attacks.

Cyberattacks that are massive in scope are increasing across the globe, which result in significant financial losses to businesses, individuals, and governments. Cybercriminals attack a variety of I.T. infrastructures with the aim of pursuing reputational, financial, political, or even radical motives. Ransomware such as WannaCry, Petya, NotPetya, and BadRabbit have severely affected businesses. For example, The SamSam ransomware attack slowed down the municipal service in Atlanta in the U.S., requiring the payment of USD 50,000.

Cyber-related threats impede the productivity of businesses and require the protection of vital I.T. infrastructure as well as data. Companies are increasingly investing in cybersecurity solutions and services to minimize the threat of data security breaches. As cyberattacks get more sophisticated, businesses across the world look to insurance for cybersecurity to protect themselves from the financial burden of cyberattacks involving swarms.

Restraining Factor

A lack of understanding regarding cybersecurity insurance and hesitation to choose security insurance instead of cybersecurity products.

Due to the growing awareness of security threats and the increasing number of cyberattacks, organizations, and governments have increased their security spending. Yet, many companies do not consider cybersecurity insurance that can aid in preventing financial loss. The cost per year of cybercrime is estimated to exceed USD 1.5 trillion, and only a small portion of it is insured by insurance firms. A lack of understanding and knowledge about cybersecurity insurance can hinder the growth of the market, with certain companies mistaking it for insurance for errors and mistakes. Globally, businesses must realize that the financial impact of an attack on security can exceed even the cost of acquiring cybersecurity insurance.

Geopolitical Impact Analysis

National Security Implications:

• Risk Mitigation: Cybersecurity insurance encourages organizations to invest in robust cybersecurity measures to lower their insurance premiums, indirectly contributing to national security by reducing the overall risk of cyberattacks.
• Critical Infrastructure Protection: Governments may encourage or mandate cybersecurity insurance for critical infrastructure providers, ensuring essential services remain operational in the face of cyber threats.
• Cyber Deterrence: The availability of cybersecurity insurance can influence nation-state actors’ decisions regarding cyber espionage or cyberattacks, potentially affecting the likelihood of such attacks.

Economic Stability:

• Market Growth: The expansion of the cybersecurity insurance market can impact international markets and economic stability, becoming a significant component of the global financial services industry.
• Risk Transfer: Cybersecurity insurance helps organizations and governments manage the financial fallout of cyberattacks, contributing to economic stability by providing a mechanism for transferring financial risk.

By Insurance Coverage Analysis

cybersecurity liability Leads the Market with a Major Revenue Share of 44.6%.

In terms of insurance coverage, the cyber liability segment will likely have a greater market share over the forecast period. Cyber risk insurance, also known as cyber liability insurance, assists businesses in recovering from the financial burdens resulting from cyber-attacks, data breaches, and other cyber-attacks. This insurance covers the costs paid by the business itself (first-party claims) and also expenses arising out of claims from external entities (third-party claims).

The policy covers a variety of costs like investigation costs and legal proceedings, business losses, privacy concerns, extortion, and even notifications. Because of the growing complexity of cyber-attacks as well as the more stringent regulations, companies are urged to implement cybersecurity insurance policies actively. With first-party as well as third-party protection, Cyber liability insurance policies will help insurers reduce the negative effects of a security incident that could cause significant losses to businesses. Principal companies in the cyber insurance market are Allianz Group, AIG, Chubb, Aon, Zurich, AXA, and Berkshire Hathaway, among others.

By Insurance Type Analysis

The Standalone segment is the most dominant, with the highest revenue share for the forecast period.

In accordance with the type of insurance you choose, the cybersecurity insurance market is classified into tailor-made and standalone. Of these, the standalone segment has dominated this market with the largest revenue share of 63.6%. With the purchase of insurance that is standalone, an organization is shielded from legal action arising out of privacy or security violations that result from a failure to secure sensitive data. In addition, standalone insurance covers the full spectrum of risks to assets, such as data loss or destruction, business interruption, and loss of money transfer.

By End-Use Industry Analysis

BFSI Segment  Holds the Major Revenue Share of 26.4% to Dominate the Market.

Based on end-users, the cybersecurity insurance market is divided into healthcare, retail BFSI, as well as I.T. and telecom manufacturing, and others. Of these categories, the BFSI segment is the most dominant, with the highest revenue share of 47.2%  over the forecast period. The banking industry is a popular security risk for hackers because of the huge amount of data that is generated. This will likely drive an expansion of the segment by rising demand for cybersecurity insurance within the BFSI sector.

Growth Opportunity

Exclusion of  Cybersecurity Insurance Coverage from Property and Casualty Insurance Coverage (P&C) policies

With the increasing use of social media and cyber attacks, cyber risk is quickly increasing. Prior to this development, casualty insurance offered coverage against third-party damages to tangible computer-related property. However, with the rise of digital devices and technological advancements, casualty insurance carriers have recognized that cyber exposures have grown substantially. Pressure from both the E.U. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Prudential Regulatory Authority (PRA) is pushing insurance companies to address cyber-related security risks through creating dedicated security insurance programs. Insurance companies and regulators are working on creating separate cybersecurity insurance policies to increase understanding and remove “silent cyber claims.” Therefore, insurers anticipate adopting distinct cybersecurity insurance policies in order to limit accidental exposure to cyber coverage.

Latest Trends

Increasing adoption of crypto insurance services

Crypto ownership worldwide has seen rapid expansion. Unfortunately, with increasing crypto ownership has come rising threats of cryptocurrency hacks of multimillion-dollar hacks that leave investors out millions while costing the sector billions of dollars. One such instance occurred in March 2022 when hackers stole approximately USD 540 Million worth of crypto from the Ronin blockchain project, making this one of the biggest cryptocurrency thefts on record.

Companies seeking to address crypto-threats have invested in insurance policies as an additional precaution against risk. According to research from Goldman Sachs, 11% of U.S. insurance companies have shown interest or plan on investing in cryptocurrency investments. Insurance providers anticipate growing and strengthening their return from these investments in the coming years. Thus, rising cyber threats and insurance firms investing in crypto insurance should have a positive effect on market growth over the forecast period.

Regional Analysis

North America dominates the global cybersecurity insurance market with a Major Revenue Share of 39.6%

North America has a high-tech infrastructure and widespread use of cyber-related technology. It is predicted to have the biggest market share in terms of size. The U.S. specifically offers an opportunity for cybersecurity insurance providers due to the strict regulations and a wide range of industries. Cyberattacks can have a significant economic impact on businesses of all sizes, which includes crucial industries.

According to a report from Emsisoft published in The New York Times, 205,280 businesses across North America fell victim to ransomware-related attacks in 2019. Due to the increased rate of attacks and the increasing use instances of Bring Your Device (BYOD), especially in connection with the COVID-19 virus, U.S. and Canadian enterprises recognize the importance of safeguarding their data and minimizing financial losses by implementing cyber security insurance policies.
