The share of C-level leaders who feel their organizations lack sufficient cyber protection has risen steadily to 89%, up from 81% in 2021, according to Munich Re’s Global Cyber Risk and Insurance Survey 2026.
The perception of inadequate cybersecurity protection among senior executives has reached its highest level in four years of tracking, with 89% of global C-level respondents saying their company is not adequately protected against cyberattacks, according to Munich Re’s 2026 Global Cyber Risk and Insurance Survey.
The survey, conducted in December 2025 and encompassing more than 9,500 respondents across 20 countries, found that rising concern is matched by growing interest in cyber insurance — yet a significant share of organizations have still never been offered a policy.
“Companies need to place the highest priority on resilience and protection in the face of evolving digital opportunities and challenges,” Thomas Blunck, CEO Reinsurance for Munich Re, said. “As vital part of corporate risk management, cyber insurance is proven, relevant, and ready to expand.”
