How much could your company pay for cyber insurance? Premiums differ according to these factors:
- Industry: Statistics show certain industries, such as healthcare and local government, have higher cybersecurity risk and thus higher insurance rates.
- Coverage amount and type: Policies vary with the value of assets at risk, such as revenues, and areas of focus, such as ransomware.
- Organization size: Larger companies often require comprehensive coverage.
- Unfortunately, as risk increases, so does the price of insurance. For their part, insurance companies are responding accordingly to this negative trend—by reducing limits, increasing prices and decreasing coverage.
- Coping with rising costs: A renewed focus on robust cybersecurity is the best way to cope with rising costs and risks. Reducing cyber risk may help you mitigate your liability and potentially reduce your cyber insurance costs. Moreover, in high-risk industries such as healthcare, finance and information technology, advanced cybersecurity measures are fast becoming a requirement for insurability.
