Zero Trust Security Reduces Cyber Insurance Claims, Preventing Up To $465 Billion Annually In Global Economic Loss From Cyber Attacks
Zscaler, July 10,2025
Research from Marsh McLennan's Cyber Risk Intelligence Center suggests that implementation of a zero trust platform can reduce associated insurance claims and losses across industries
Zscaler, Inc. published a special report, examining the number of cyber incident insurance claims that potentially could have been avoided if the victim organization had deployed a zero trust architecture. Using the Marsh McLennan Cyber Risk Intelligence Center's proprietary cyber losses dataset from the past eight-years, which collates cyber incidents from past claims, researchers estimated that overall cyber losses could have been potentially reduced by up to 31% had the organizations widely deployed zero trust security. This adds up to a projected reduction of up to $465 billion in global annual total economic losses.
