- The report finds that around half of the United Kingdom companies and I have no cybernetic insurance form
- This is despite runners who predict claims and growing premiums
- Ransomware continues to grow and affect companies in the United Kingdom and I
Around half of the United Kingdom and Ireland companies lack any form of cyber insurance, despite the growing cases of threats, warned new research.
An Arctic Wolf report found that 70% of the United Kingdom insurance corridors and anticipate that claims increase in 2026, with a similar number (68%) that predict premium rates to increase during the same period.
The news occurs when cybercriminals are using the tools of increasingly AI to help build more sophisticated attacks, address the company’s data and increase privacy concerns.
Many companies lack cybernetic insurance
Arctic Wolf Ransomware data claims have become the most common kind of world insurance claim, followed by data infractions, funds and phishing.
Almost one in five (18%) customers of the respondents had experienced a cyber attack in the last month, with the average global insurance claim that was around the $ 115,000 mark and the large companies that claim an average of more than $ 812,000.
The recent analysis of the United Kingdom government shows that the number of companies that experience a ransomware crime doubled between 2024 and 2025, and 43% of companies experienced a cyber security rape or attack in the last 12 months.
“While the insurance industry is working with customers to improve protection, the attacks are ultimately costing companies hundreds of thousands of pounds of damage,” said Senior Director of Insurance Alliances Strategy Kevin Kiser.
In the United Kingdom and Ireland, around one in four (23%) runners have now negotiated the benefits of pre-organized insurance for clients with cyber risk suppliers, and the corridors of the United Kingdom and I are more likely than the global average of associating with cyber security suppliers.
“As the tactics of threat evolve, cyber insurance is no longer a ‘pleasant to have’ a strategic pillar of modern risk management,” Kiser added.
