Why cyber insurance is broken and what we should do about it
Paolo Di Prodi

Cyber insurance policies have been around since the 1998 with top profile spokespersons such as Bruce Schneier that were encouraging both the adoption and academic research since 2001. Insurance providers have experienced excellent profits up until 2019 when the loss ratio increased by 10% to reach approximately 45% which correlated with the spread of ransomware. We are observing that insurance providers are essentially funding cyber criminals with their policies, this has to stop!
