This report is based on the summary statistical analysis of over 9,000 cyber claims for incidents that occurred during the five-year period 2018–2022. By comparison, the third Cyber Claims Study, published in 2013, analyzed fewer than 150 cyber insurance claims.

Our report focuses on confirmed breaches in which confidential data is exposed and/or stolen. A confirmed breach can refer to a single record being stolen — and such a breach must be analyzed and remediated to determine the source — but because most breaches are financially driven, attackers target large caches of data that they can hold for ransom or sell on the dark web.

This report offers IT, risk management and security leaders a lens into factors that can increase or help mitigate the rising cost of data breaches. This report also examines root causes, short-term and long-term consequences of data breaches, and the mitigating factors and technologies that allow companies to limit losses.

This study leverages a vast dataset spanning over 77,000 cyber events experienced by 35,000 organizations over the last decade. This dataset is drawn from Advisen’s Cyber Loss Data, which contains over 138,000 cyber events collected from publicly verifiable sources.

This free public report from the Cyentia IRIS Risk Retina series clears away the fog of FUD, providing parameters for frequency and loss of publicly discoverable cyberevents in the nonprofit sector.

This report looks at data breach events in 2020. It then compares key aspects and trends of these breaches to data breaches in previous years.

This report examines publicly disclosed data breach events, and describes trends and key changes for Q3 2020.

This mid year report covers publicly disclosed data breaches first reported between January 1, 2020 and June 30, 2020 and compares current observations to the same time period for prior years.

DivvyCloud researchers compiled this report to substantiate the growing trend of breaches caused by cloud misconfigurations, quantify their impact to companies and consumers around the world, and identify factors that may increase the likelihood a company will suffer such a breach.

Using breach information from Advisen, this report seeks to fill in missing gaps in the loss frequency and impact side of quantitative risk analysis. Using real world reported data on publicly-discoverable breaches, commonly held myths of cost per record estimates are debunked and replacement hard statistics are given to replace incorrect estimates.

This report goes in depth into the overall changes in data breaches in the first part of 2020. Some highlights are that the number of publicly reported breaches decreased by 42% from 2019. and the number of records exposed grew 273% since last year.

Gemalto outlines changes to threats in 2017, including data from incidents in the year.

Bitglass’ fifth annual Healthcare Breach Report analyzes the data from the US Department of Health and Human Services’ “Wall of Shame.” The database contains information about breaches of PHI that affected more than 500 individuals.

Law firm Clyde & Co and risk analytics platform Corax have collaborated to bring you a joint white paper identifying the key drivers of frequency and cost for cyber insurance claims. This paper moves beyond major breaches to examine the day to day breaches that most businesses are experiencing. Unlike other breach reports, this paper tracks each invoiced cost or loss amount associated with a covered breach event. Anonymized data was sourced from 321 data breach events where Clyde & Co acted as monitoring counsel for cyber insurer clients. The breach events were reported to insurers between 2014 and 2015. Files were selected randomly.

The eighth edition of the NetDiligence® Cyber Claims Study offers insights for business innovation. In the same way that a business gains operational perspective by going through an audit, both the insurer and the insured can use the findings of this research to inform decision making and risk management.

This report is an annual Cyber Claims Study. It includes informative numerical and graphical descrip-tions of the types of data exposed, causes of loss, business sectors involved, sizes of affected organizations, insider involvement, and third party involvement. It also includes several new analyses: Cloud Involvement, Cyber Extortion/Ransomware, Phishing, Phishing and Wire Transfer Fraud, POS-Related/Common Point of Purchase/CPP Investigations.

Bitglass’ fourth-annual Healthcare Breach Report analyzes data from the US Department of Health and Human Services’ “Wall of Shame,” where organizations that store or handle PHI are required to disclose breaches that affect at least 500 individuals. Read on to learn more about the breaches that caused the most damage in 2017 and to look at the year ahead in data security.

The fifth annual NetDiligence® Cyber Claims Study uses actual cyber liability insurance reported claims to illuminate the real costs of incidents from an insurer’s perspective. Our goal is to raise awareness about cyber risk within the risk manager community.

From the report, “Following are some of the most notable data breaches in 2016, including the number of compromised records, type of breach, and the BLI risk assessment score. The score is calculated based on factors such as the number of records breached, the source of the breach, and how the stolen information was used.”

This is an in depth presentation of the data breaches that occurred in the first half of 2015. It contains very detailed graphics, charts, and analysis.

IBM Security and Ponemon Institute are pleased to release the 2018 Cost of Data Breach Study: Global Overview1. They conducted interviews with more than 2,200 IT, data protection, and compliance professionals from 477 companies that have experienced a data breach over the past 12 months. According to the findings, data breaches continue to be costlier and result in more consumer records being lost or stolen, year after year.
