Vanbreda Cyber Study: cost of 4 out of 5 cyber incidents limited to 20,000 euros thanks to cyber insurance
Cyber crime continued to rise in 2025 and poses a growing threat to Belgian businesses. However, companies’ efforts in cyber security and insurance are paying off. Targeted prevention measures and improved incident support have limited the cost of four out of five cyber claims 20,000 euros, and cyber insurance premiums have fallen. New players with competitive rates are reinforcing this trend. At the same time, the risk of reliance on a single provider is still underestimated, and businesses that fail to adapt their insured amounts to their growth and current risks are in danger of being underinsured. This is clear from the Vanbreda Risk & Benefits annual cyber study.
