Cyber ​​insurance: 80 percent of customers with claims

Cyber ​​insurance is in demand, but most of them hardly want to cover the risks anymore: almost 80 percent of the companies that have taken out cyber insurance have already made claims with their insurer, more than half of them more than once.

As a result, insurance companies are increasingly withdrawing from covering critical risks. For example, damage caused by ransomware or costs for data recovery are no longer covered by the policy of around 50 percent of the companies surveyed. In doing so, the…

Paradoxical assessment: Sufficient budget despite high cyber risk

Two-thirds (67 percent) of IT decision-makers in Germany say that their IT security budget is sufficient for the next two years, although they rate the cyber risk as high. More than half (53 percent) rely on external service providers to protect themselves because the necessary know-how is not available internally.

On the one hand, the degree of digitization in the financial sector has increased significantly - especially in the wake of the pandemic.

Modern endpoint management for lean budgets
