Cyber Insurance: What Is It And What Does It Cover? – Insurance Laws and Products

The average cost of a cyber breach has risen to $4.45m worldwide, a 15.3% increase since 2020, prompting businesses to consider cyber insurance to offset risks. However, the rapid increase in cybercrime has triggered a 62% rise in standalone cyber insurance premiums in 2022 alone. Cyber insurance policies typically cover litigation expenses, data recovery costs, damage repairs, investigations, customer notifications, regulatory fines and business interruptions.
