In a firming market, with slight-to-moderate premium pricing increases across the board, cyber coverage remained competitive over the last six months, according to The Council’s most recent Cyber Market Watch Survey. Sixty-three (63) percent of respondents noted premium prices for commercial cyber insurance “stayed the same” over the last six months.

“Of all the hardening in the market right now, cyber was still very competitive.”
