"Cyber risk is no longer just a technology issue — it's a boardroom issue," said Brent Rieth, global cyber leader at Aon. "Our latest research underscores the importance of proactive risk mitigation. Organizations that invest in preparedness and resilience are far better positioned to avoid the reputational and financial fallout that can follow a cyber event."

Among the report's key findings:

The report also highlights the growing challenge of managing uninsurable risks. While cyber insurance can help transfer some financial exposure, reputation risk remains largely nontransferable, making proactive risk management and crisis response essential.

"As cyber threats grow more complex and interconnected, companies need a clearer view of their exposure, stronger alignment between cybersecurity and insurance strategies, and the tools to make better, data-driven decisions. Aon is uniquely positioned to support clients through these challenges," added Rieth.

Aon's 2025 Cyber Risk Report draws on proprietary data from the firm's Cyber Quotient Evaluation, a patented global e-submission platform that streamlines the cyber insurance intake process and empowers organizations with actionable insights into their cyber exposures and insurability — helping to strengthen both underwriting outcomes and cyber risk management strategies.
