Cyber threats continue to increase in sophistication, frequency, and impact. The annual global cost of cybercrime is steadily increasing, with some estimates projecting it could reach $10.5 trillion annually by 2025.[1]

Cyber risk presents a challenge for M&A as exposure to cyber risk can be inherited through transactions. In some cases, hidden cyber vulnerabilities have led to losses for dealmakers and have caused significant destruction of deal value, lengthy recovery efforts, and regulatory investigations.

In the next video in our Creating Deal Value in 2022 series, Marsh’s James White, Head of Transaction Advisory, Private Equity and M&A UK, explains why there is a need for private capital investors to proactively address cyber threats and the three main ways Marsh is helping clients to consider cyber risk.
