📌 Market‏ ‎Stabilization: ‎After ‎a ‎period ‎of‏ ‎rapid‏ ‎premium‏ ‎increases, ‎the‏ ‎market ‎is‏ ‎beginning ‎to‏ ‎stabilize.‏ ‎This ‎is‏ ‎due ‎to ‎insurers ‎improving ‎their‏ ‎risk ‎evaluation‏ ‎methods,‏ ‎new ‎market ‎entrants‏ ‎providing ‎coverage,‏ ‎and ‎the ‎natural ‎balancing‏ ‎of‏ ‎supply ‎and‏ ‎demand.

📌 Stricter ‎Underwriting: Insurers‏ ‎are ‎developing ‎stricter ‎requirements ‎for‏ ‎policies,‏ ‎which ‎has‏ ‎led ‎to‏ ‎a ‎decline ‎in ‎the ‎number‏ ‎of‏ ‎insurable‏ ‎companies ‎and‏ ‎an ‎increase‏ ‎in ‎demand.

📌 Technological ‎Trends ‎Impact: Future ‎cyberattacks‏ ‎are‏ ‎expected‏ ‎to ‎be‏ ‎accelerated ‎by‏ ‎key ‎technology‏ ‎trends‏ ‎such ‎as‏ ‎artificial ‎intelligence, ‎the ‎metaverse, ‎and‏ ‎the ‎convergence‏ ‎of‏ ‎IT, ‎IoT, ‎and‏ ‎operational ‎technology‏ ‎(OT), ‎which ‎will ‎create‏ ‎new‏ ‎attack ‎surfaces‏ ‎and ‎systemic‏ ‎risks.

📌 Coverage ‎Restrictions: Carriers ‎are ‎expected ‎to‏ ‎restrict‏ ‎coverage ‎for‏ ‎systemic ‎risks,‏ ‎and ‎underwriters ‎are ‎continuing ‎to‏ ‎focus‏ ‎on‏ ‎security ‎controls.

📌 Price‏ ‎Normalization: ‎Price‏ ‎increases ‎for‏ ‎cyber‏ ‎insurance ‎have‏ ‎tailed ‎off ‎in ‎the ‎fourth‏ ‎quarter ‎of‏ ‎2022,‏ ‎indicating ‎a ‎trend‏ ‎towards ‎price‏ ‎normalization.

📌 Increased ‎Self-insured ‎Retentions: ‎Self-insured‏ ‎retentions‏ ‎continue ‎to‏ ‎increase, ‎which‏ ‎means ‎that ‎insured ‎parties ‎are‏ ‎retaining‏ ‎more ‎risk‏ ‎before ‎insurance‏ ‎coverage ‎kicks ‎in.
