Cyber risk and cyber insurance - A gap between awareness and preparedness
Cyber Risk and Insurance Survey 2022 – The results
All companies surveyed are focusing more strongly on new, smart technologies. In line with these developments, security vulnerabilities and cyber-attacks are also on the rise. Although awareness among surveyed managers has risen by nearly 10% since our global survey in 2021, the perception of the cyber threat landscape and what needs to be done to properly address it still varies greatly by region. As a result, cyber security protection measures remain relatively low. And decision makers are aware of this: 83% of surveyed representatives said that their own company is not adequately protected against digital threats.
Digital disruption is progressing on a global level and associated dependencies are advancing enormously – and they make no allowance for those who are not sufficiently prepared. The insurance industry has proven that it can provide real value-add for its clients with comprehensive solutions that adapt to the rapidly changing risk landscape. Munich Re, in particular, constantly innovates as a leading cyber reinsurer. We offer long-standing expertise and sophisticated insurance solutions.
