Preventing the Drop in Security Investments for Non-competitive Cyber-Insurance Market

The rapid development of cyber insurance market brings forward the question about the effect of cyber insurance on cyber security. Some researchers believe that the effect should be positive as organisations will be forced to maintain a high level of security in order to pay lower premiums. On the other hand, other researchers conduct a theoretical analysis and demonstrate that availability of cyber insurance may result in lower investments in security.
