This cybersecurity market study analyzed cyber insurance pricing, coverage, and claims data from 50 insurers over a five-year period. Cybersecurity insurance premiums increased 67% between 2020 and 2024, with ransomware claims driving the majority of price increases. Organizations demonstrating strong security posture (MFA, EDR, backups) received premiums 25-40% lower than those with weaker controls.
