It comes as no surprise to hear that ransomware attacks are on the rise, but new perspectives are connecting this trend with increasing the availability of products from cyber insurance companies.

As a result, when ransomware attacks are made, the funds are available to make payments up to a certain size. Furthermore, that size is growing, depending on the target.
