Telecommunications providers lag others, with 17 percent reporting no cyber insurance
LONDON — 15 August, 2018
Highlights:
- Just 10 percent of UK executives surveyed say their firm has no cybersecurity insurance, compared to 24 percent in all 11 countries surveyed
- Telecommunications firms lag other industries, with 17 percent reporting they have no coverage
- Only 38 percent of UK firms surveyed have cybersecurity insurance that covers all risks
- Most respondents said their cyber insurance is not based on an accurate assessment of their firm’s individual risk
- Ovum conducted telephone surveys for FICO of security executives at 500 companies in the UK and 10 other countries
The number of UK firms with cybersecurity insurance has risen in the past year — but less than half say their cyber insurance covers all risks. The second annual cybersecurity survey from research and consultancy firm Ovum, for Silicon Valley analytics firm FICO, found that the number of UK firms reporting they have no cybersecurity insurance dropped from 31 percent in 2017 to 10 percent in 2018. While this is substantially better than the 24 percent reported across all 11 countries surveyed, only 38 percent of UK respondents said their cybersecurity insurance covers all risks.
