The Digital Safety Net: Why Your Business Needs Cyber Insurance
The world of business is more digital than ever, and that means new risks are emerging constantly. It might feel like you’re caught between a rock and a hard place: cyber threats are getting more intense, but the good news is that protecting your business has become more accessible.
This is where Morning Star Insurance comes in. We understand the rapidly changing landscape of cyber risk and can help you secure the peace of mind that comes with robust Cyber Insurance.
The Changing Market: Opportunity Knocks
Believe it or not, right now is a surprisingly good time to shop for Cyber Insurance. Here’s why:
-
More Choices, Better Deals: Experts like Munich Re project the global Cyber Insurance market will hit $16.3 billion by the end of 2025. This huge growth, driven by increasing awareness, has led to intense competition. We’re seeing widespread premium reductions and more capacity in the market.
-
Higher Limits Available: Carriers are getting competitive, meaning they’re offering more coverage than before. Where once $1 or $2 million limits were common, we’re now seeing offers up to $10 million or more. This reflects the market’s greater ability to take on risk and offer more value to clients like you.
-
A Growth Trend: Analysts, including Gallagher Re, predict that the Cyber Insurance market is growing so fast that it could surpass traditional Property or Casualty insurance in annual reinsurance premium by 2032-2033. This confidence is fueling investment in better data and technology, ultimately improving the products available to you.
The Reality of Today’s Cyber Threats
While the market is client-friendly, the threats are real and growing. Cyber criminals are working overtime to find weaknesses in every sector:
-
Attack Volume is Soaring: During the first quarter of 2025, global cyber attacks increased by a stunning 47%, averaging 1,925 attacks every single week. Industries like Education (averaging 4,484 attacks per week) and Government (2,678 per week) are hit the hardest.
-
The Ransomware Problem: Ransomware, where criminals lock up your data until you pay a fee, remains a massive concern. North America is a major target, accounting for 62% of global attacks, with the Consumer Goods and Services sector increasingly in their sights. These attacks are expected to cost victims as much as $275 billion annually by 2031.
-
It’s Not Just Hackers: Simple human error is still a major vulnerability. Whether it’s falling for a clever phishing email or getting overwhelmed by “MFA fatigue” (where frequent Multi-Factor Authentication prompts lead a user to approve a fraudulent login by accident), your team needs protection against everyday mistakes.
The New Targets: Are You Vulnerable?
Many people think only banks or tech companies need to worry. That’s simply no longer true.
Cyber attackers are increasingly going after “blue collar” industries like construction, manufacturing, and wholesale distribution. Why? Because these sectors might have less mature security defenses, making them easy pickings.
Take a heating and air conditioning contractor, for example. They might only have $3 million in revenue, but they regularly handle $500,000 wire transfers to pay suppliers. If a criminal intercepts that payment using a trick called invoice manipulation or fund transfer fraud, the loss of that half-million dollars could be devastating—even leading to bankruptcy.
