As noted in the Winter 2022 Antidote article exploring cyber liability trends, cyber incidents are on the rise – ransomware especially. The Sophos State of Ransomware 2022 report found that:
- Ransomware hit 66% of mid-sized organizations surveyed last year, up from 37% in 2020.
- The average cost to an organization to rectify a ransomware attack in 2021 was $1.4 million.
- 97% of organizations that have cyber insurance have made changes to their cyber defense to improve their cyber insurance position.
- 98% that were hit by ransomware and had cyber insurance that covered ransomware said the policy paid out in the most significant attack.
