According to the Coalition 2026 Cyber Claims Report, the global claims frequency for cyberattacks rose 3% from 2024 to 2025. Unfortunately, the healthcare industry is a frequent target. The average loss from claims in the healthcare industry in 2025 was high at $130,000. The sensitivity of protected health information and the critical need for 24/7 uptime in the medical field ensures that any incident in this space carries a heavy price tag.

Business email compromise was the leading event type in 2025, accounting for 31% of claims, followed by funds transfer fraud (27%), ransomware attacks (21%), and miscellaneous first party loss and third party allegations (21%).  Coalition Active Insurance, available through MDA Insurance, helps dentists protect their practices from these types of incidents. Coalition Active Insurance brings together active monitoring, incident response, and comprehensive cyber insurance designed to help mitigate your organization’s cyber risk. 64% of Coalition’s 2025 claims resulted in no out-of-pocket loss for policyholders.
