“Globally there is a much higher demand for cover, at the same time as more sophisticated, expensive attacks are becoming more common. Rules on data protection are changing all the time, vary from country to country, and have inevitably impacted insurers’ assessment of the risk of providing cover.
“In less mature markets, we also found that there is work to be done on educating companies about the risks that they face and the steps they can take to mitigate that,” Grasso added.
