Cyber Attacks 2024: Why Companies Must Invest in Cyber Security and Insurance Now
Rising Cybercrime: A Wake-Up Call for Businesses
Cyberattacks are no longer an exception but have become a daily reality for businesses worldwide. In 2024, Germany recorded an estimated €267 billion in damages due to cybercrime – a 29% increase compared to the previous year (Source: Bitkom). The increasing threat affects not only large enterprises but especially small and medium-sized businesses that often lack adequate protective measures.
Cyberattacks: A Growing Threat to Businesses
According to the latest BSI Security Report 2024, ransomware attacks, phishing attempts, and targeted corporate sabotage are the biggest threats facing businesses today.
A particularly alarming statistic: Over 60% of German companies have had to actively defend against cyberattacks in the past 12 months
(Source: BSI).
Another key concern: Cybercriminals are becoming more sophisticated. They increasingly rely on automated attack methods and artificial intelligence to identify weaknesses in IT infrastructures and launch targeted attacks.
Cyber Insurance: Protection Against Financial Losses
The rising costs of cyberattacks have brought cyber insurance into the spotlight. These policies not only cover direct attack-related damages but also ensure coverage for:
- Forensic analysis and incident response
- Legal consultation and data protection measures
- Crisis management and PR support
- Compensation claims from affected customers
- Costs for IT recovery and downtime
However, beware: Many insurers require businesses to have robust IT security measures in place.
Without a solid cybersecurity infrastructure, companies risk both cyberattacks and losing their insurance coverage.
