A single hyperscaler incident in 2025 generated over 17 million user-reported disruptions and kept services down for more than 15 hours, taking out streaming platforms, retailers, and enterprise systems in one stroke. The price tag on this kind of disruption keeps climbing too. A minute of downtime now costs $8,600 on average, up from $5,600 just three years ago, and the worst outages run to a median of $2 million an hour. Close to nine in ten enterprises have already been through a major cloud disruption in just the last year. Size does not buy the protection it once did, and neither does budget.
Direct revenue loss, SLA penalties, customer churn, and a board that has started asking harder questions about how much sits with any one vendor.
Insurance has not kept pace with how quickly enterprises have adopted AI. Generative AI-related lawsuits in the US have already passed 700 cumulative filings since 2020, and the pace is only picking up, up 137% year-over-year in 2024-2025. Risk teams seem to know it too. A recent survey of 1,250 companies found 57% now rank AI errors, misinformation, and hallucinations as their top concern, ahead of legal, reputational, and data privacy exposure. New insurance industry exclusions taking effect from January 2026 may strip standard general liability policies of coverage for bodily injury or property damage arising from generative AI. The gap is not closing on its own.
Uninsured exposure to litigation and regulatory action arising from AI systems deployed faster than coverage frameworks evolved.
A repository holds a company's proprietary algorithms and credentials in one place, and that concentration is precisely what makes a single breach, or a single departing employee, so disproportionately damaging. Physical assets are protected with far more rigour than source code typically receives, despite the latter often carrying greater value. Intellectual property theft costs US companies an estimated $225 billion to $600 billion annually, with technology enterprises positioned at the centre of that figure rather than its edge. In the first half of 2025, the software and services sector recorded more trade secret case filings than any other industry, 99 new cases in total.
Loss of competitive advantage, protracted litigation costs, and years of R&D investment that may never be recovered.
