Aon plc (NYSE: AON) has partnered with Kovrr to enhance cyber risk quantification and analysis of reinsurance treaties. This collaboration integrates Kovrr's impact-based modeling framework into Aon's ReMetrica capital modeling software, addressing the rising demand for data-driven insights on cyber exposures. According to Aon, the cyber insurance sector is currently facing significant challenges, including high rate increases and ransomware claims.

The recent study by CyberCube, AM Best, and Aon highlights significant cyber risks in the US property insurance market, potentially leading to non-physical damage losses of $12.5bn.
