In a recent report, S&P Global Ratings says the demand for cyber coverage has increased significantly since before COVID-19 and that a stronger partnership between insurers and reinsurers could help strengthen coverage, give greater balance sheet protection against frequent, high-severity losses.
Analysts estimate that primary insurers pass 35%-45% of global cyber premium to reinsurers and rely on them for their expertise in managing potential accumulation risk and exposure to cyber risk.
