Cybersecurity in Insurance Market Overview
The global cybersecurity revenue in the insurance sector was $6.4 billion in 2020. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 10% from 2020 to 2025. The sector’s rapid digital transformation will drive this growth.
COVID-19 led to more customers accessing their accounts digitally and insurers selling through digital channels, increasing the sector’s cyber risk. The rise in complex ransomware attacks, the persistence of hybrid working models, ongoing supply chain threats, and the Russia-Ukraine war have all accelerated the need for robust cybersecurity defenses across sectors.

What is the impact of cybersecurity on the insurance market?
Today’s insurance customers, many of whom are members of Generation Z, are accustomed to accessing their insurers via digital channels. This increases the surface area for cyberattacks, similar to the digitalization necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The increased risk of a cyberattack, and payout for a cyber insurance policyholder, discourage insurers from offering cyber policies. Moreover, the economic damage of the pandemic and the ongoing cost of living crisis have further reduced businesses’ and consumers’ abilities to afford ever-costlier cyber insurance cover.
The COVID-19 pandemic has hastened the digital transformation of businesses, necessitating more employees to work remotely and more transactions to be conducted online. With more customers accessing their accounts digitally and insurers selling through digital channels more than before, the cyber risk faced by insurers is increasing. This is particularly relevant to traditional insurers, which tend to have less digital experience and expertise than insurtechs.
Digital challengers to the insurance industry were initially notably present in personal lines, with other areas of insurance remaining unaffected. This has now changed, and most insurance products have been impacted by emerging challengers that have accelerated digital transformation in the sector. This rapid digital transformation, however, risks holes being left in application development. As well as protecting their reputations and avoiding hefty fines, insurers should invest in cybersecurity solutions to prevent data breaches.
What are the key cybersecurity value chains?
The key cybersecurity value chains can be divided into three segments: hardware, software, and services.
Hardware
With chips now being used in mission-critical servers and safety-critical applications, protecting chips from cyberattacks is becoming more critical and more expensive. Systems vendors such as Apple and Amazon are increasingly designing their chips rather than buying commercially developed devices and intellectual property (IP) created by third-party developers.
Software
The software element of the cybersecurity value chain comprises the following areas: identity management, network security, endpoint security, threat detection & response, cloud security, data security, email security, application security, unified threat management, and vulnerability management.
Services
The services element of the cybersecurity value chain comprises the following areas: managed security services, post-breach response services, and risk & compliance services. Services are typically outsourced because of the complexity of addressing cybersecurity-related issues, such as staying on top of vulnerabilities, identifying & responding to threats, and meeting compliance requirements.
Which are the leading insurance companies that are deploying cybersecurity?
The leading insurance companies that are deploying cybersecurity are AIG, Allianz, Aon, Chubb, Hiscox, Marsh, Munich Re, Ping An, Swiss Re, and Zurich Insurance.
Which are the specialist cybersecurity vendors in the insurance market?
The specialist cybersecurity vendors in the insurance market are Blackberry, CyberCube, FireEye, Portnox, and SecurityScorecard.
