“In early May, global insurer AXA made a landmark policy decision: The company would stop reimbursing French companies for ransomware payments to cybercriminals.”

Wow. Quite the declaration. This was pulled from a recent article on Dark Reading. Cyber insurance stories like this have been continuing to pop up over the last couple of months highlighting an increasing trend.

Why?

Huge cybercrime stories have been hitting the mainstream every few days. Companies in wide-ranging industries have been hit with progressively more severe cyberattacks, and it’s shaking up the public and corporate landscape in a big way.

It’s hard to definitively say that this is all “unprecedented”. Most anything cyber-related is unprecedented. Though internet-connected devices have integrated themselves into our daily lives at an ever-increasing scale, we have to remember the cyber space is still in its infancy.

Industries that have been slow to work through digital transformation regarding cloud adoption, identity and access management, and mapping to compliance frameworks, for example, are easy targets for increasingly sophisticated attackers.

As insurance companies navigate this whole new digital world, they are beginning to see the severity and maturation of cybercrime, and the severity of cost impact on their own bottom lines. With ransomware payouts continuing to rise, it’s easy to see why re-evaluations on cybercrime coverage are taking place.

The looming potential of a lack of coverage for cybercrime carries a lot of implications for businesses trying to plan for the long term. A lack of stability and a potential for the rug to be pulled on your current plan to help combat the effects of cybercrime can be huge hindrances for growth.

Maybe it’s time to re-evaluate your “insurance” against cybercrime. Let’s dive deeper.
