Cyber is the most significant concern for 70% of UK and Irish mid-market businesses, but only 36% say they have a cyber policy that is regularly reviewed and tailored to their changing risks, according to research Chubb published on 11 November.

The insurer surveyed 150 insurance or risk management decision-makers at businesses with turnover of £50m to £500m (€50m to €500m in Ireland) in July 2026. Some 37% reported disruption from a cyber incident at a supplier or technology provider, Chubb said.
