In addition, it notes that while rising demand has boosted market capacity, the severity of attacks has caused insurers to become more selective about the risks they are willing to cover.
Giorgio Grasso, Leader of GILC’s Cyber Special Interest Group and a Partner at BTG Legal, commented, “The cyber market is incredibly dynamic at the moment, and what jumps out from this report is that while individual markets face similar challenges, the international response has been very diverse.

“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.
