Cyber Insurance
Introduced in the late 1990s, cyber insurance was quickly seen as a product with virtually unlimited sales potential, leading to a feeding frenzy of marketing and sales. The product was so profitable and successful that Lloyd’s of London once proclaimed that, “cyber insurance sales would save the organization.” A “ransomware epidemic” changed all of that. In 2020, profit margins for cyber insurance plummeted, and cyber insurance claim denials quickly followed.
