No more Cybersecurity Insurance? Is Cyber Insurance for Ransomware Disappearing? Protect Your Business with NeuShield Data Sentinel Cyber insurance has traditionally been seen as a critical safeguard against ransomware attacks. However, that safety net is rapidly weakening. In fact, in a significant industry shift, AXA France has stopped issuing new cyber insurance policies that cover ransomware, thereby prompting serious concern across the market. As a result, many organisations are now asking: will other insurers follow? And, more importantly, if ransomware coverage disappears entirely, how will businesses protect their data, systems, and operations? At the same time, ransomware attacks are becoming more frequent, more targeted, and increasingly destructive. Consequently, insurers are facing unsustainable losses, heightened regulatory scrutiny, and ever more complex claims. In response, cyber insurance policies now carry tighter exclusions, higher premiums, and far more demanding cybersecurity prerequisites—or, in many cases, exclude ransomware altogether. Therefore, insurance alone is no longer a viable ransomware strategy. This is precisely where NeuShield Data Sentinel changes the conversation. Rather than relying solely on detection, NeuShield Data Sentinel is a next-generation ransomware and data-corruption protection platform that safeguards critical data at the last line of defence. By leveraging its patented Active Data Protection™ technology, NeuShield makes data immutable at the storage level and automatically heals files after ransomware, zero-day attacks, insider threats, or even accidental corruption—all without relying exclusively on signatures, behavioural detection, or backups alone. As a result, businesses benefit from rapid recovery, near-zero downtime, and reduced operational impact, while simultaneously giving insurers greater confidence by significantly lowering ransomware risk exposure. Meanwhile, for MSPs and channel partners, NeuShield provides a powerful and highly differentiated solution that aligns directly with insurer requirements, compliance frameworks, and growing customer demand for guaranteed recovery. Ultimately, as cyber insurance coverage becomes more uncertain, organisations must shift from financial compensation to true technological resilience. NeuShield Data Sentinel enables exactly that shift—transforming ransomware from a business-ending event into a recoverable incident. At Avosec, we help partners deploy NeuShield Data Sentinel as part of a modern, insurance-aligned ransomware defence strategy.
