The survey found that 27% of InfoSec pros in the US report that their organizations have no plans to sign up for cybersecurity insurance.
Meanwhile, although 61% of survey respondents expect the level of attempted breaches to rise next year, only 16% of US companies have cybersecurity insurance that covers all risks, the survey found.
