This paper analyzes the characteristics of #cyber #loss #events and how they evolve over time. The authors use three large databases to address the problem of #report #delay and analyze the #frequency and #severity of different categories of #cyberevents . They find that the frequency of malicious cyber events has grown exponentially in the past two decades, but there is no significant change in loss severity.

"... we do not find a distinct pattern between the frequency of events, the loss severity, and the number of affected records as often alluded to in the literature. We also analyse the severity distribution of cyber related events across all risk categories and business sectors. This analysis reveals that cyber risks are heavy-tailed, i.e., cyber risk events have a higher probability to produce extreme losses than events whose severity follows an exponential distribution. Furthermore, we find that the frequency and severity of cyber related losses exhibits a very dynamic and time varying nature."
