Erica Davis, Global Co-Head of Cyber for Guy Carpenter, shares her insights on cyber reinsurance market conditions in this聽 The cyber liability reinsurance market remains restricted, but more capacity is expected to enter the sector, from both traditional reinsurers and third-party capital sources.
Cybersecurity risk management measures encouraged by insurers, such as multifactor authentication, are leading to improved results for cedents, making the risks more attractive to reinsurers. According to Moody鈥檚 Investor Service, the sector鈥檚 loss ratio improved to 62% in 2021, from 65% in 2020.鈥
