Access, Affordability, and Sustainability of Cyber Insurance Enabled by Datavault AI’s Patented Solutions to be Presented to Industry Leaders within the $240 billion Cyber Insurance Market
PHILADELPHIA, PA / ACCESS Newswire / June 15, 2026 / Datavault AI Inc. (“Datavault AI” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:DVLT), a provider of data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement, and real-world asset (‘RWA’) tokenization technologies, today announced that Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI, will join the Future of Cyber Insurance Innovation panel at the CyberAcuView 5th Anniversary Policy Conference on June 18, 2026, in Washington, D.C.
The invitation-only conference convenes senior government officials with senior underwriters and insurance industry executives to examine cybersecurity public policy. Mr. Bradley’s panel will explore how cybersecurity innovation, including AI-driven threats, quantum readiness, and certified security platforms, is reshaping how cyber insurance is underwritten and bound. He will also address the sustainability and monetization of cybersecurity: how businesses pay for protection that arrives as cost center upon cost center, why mid-sized and smaller businesses cannot keep up, and how bringing security to smaller companies at the colocation level, combined with scoring and valuation of data, helps organizations understand and protect what is invaluable to them.
The appearance follows Datavault AI’s attendance at IBM Think Gov 2026 in Washington, D.C. earlier this month, where the Company engaged with agency and industry leaders on AI, data monetization, and quantum security for government missions.
Cybersecurity is a deliberate growth pillar for Datavault AI, spanning continuous compliance, cyber risk mitigation, and a post-quantum readiness roadmap aligned to the security demands of regulated industries and government. That roadmap is anchored in the Company’s quantum-ready edge network, which went live with its first sites in New York and Philadelphia in April 2026, with approximately 30 additional city activations targeted by early July 2026 and a planned footprint of more than 100 U.S. cities by the end of 2026. Together with the Company’s DataScore® and DataValue® data valuation and scoring technologies, which help organizations understand and protect the data most valuable to them, these priorities position Datavault AI across the prevention, valuation, and insurability layers of enterprise security.
The Company’s defense and intelligence strategy is guided by Krystle Klear Communications LLC, a defense technology advisory firm founded by Krystle Kaul. A former Director (GS-15) at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency and former advisor to General Shanahan at the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (now the Chief Digital AI Office), Kaul has more than 20 years across federal government and national security, including work supporting the Department of War at the Pentagon, the U.S. Air Force, NATO, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, CIA, and the broader Intelligence Community. She is also a NATO Advisor, and she ran for Congress in VA-10, which encompasses datacenter alley in Loudoun County. She is serving as a Datavault AI Ambassador for the Washington event.
According to Kaul, “Datavault is perfectly positioned to help the DoW and IC with scoring data, prioritizing the data, and putting the data in a vault using a light touch, which will help with a variety of use cases in particular intelligence. Datavault AI can pioneer the future advancement of technology and cybersecurity with its cutting-edge AI solutions focused on security.”
The market opportunity is expanding rapidly. According to Gartner (2025), worldwide end-user spending on information security is projected to grow 12.5% in 2026 to total $240 billion. The insurance side of that market is far earlier in its curve: according to Munich Re (2026), global cyber insurance premiums totaled approximately $15 billion in 2025 and are expected to expand to around $28 billion by 2030, while cyber premiums still represent less than 1% of global property and casualty premium volume, underscoring how early the cyber insurance market remains.
The threat environment is accelerating just as quickly. According to CrowdStrike’s 2026 Global Threat Report, AI-enabled adversaries increased operations 89% year-over-year and the average eCrime breakout time fell to 29 minutes. The damage is record-setting: the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center logged more than $20.8 billion in reported U.S. cybercrime losses in 2025, a 26% increase year-over-year. At the same time, “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks, in which adversaries steal encrypted data today to decrypt once quantum computing matures, are moving post-quantum readiness up the industry agenda as organizations begin migrating to NIST’s finalized post-quantum cryptography standards.
The gap is widest for small and medium-sized enterprises. According to Munich Re’s Global Cyber Risk and Insurance Survey 2026, nine out of ten C-level managers globally consider their own companies inadequately protected against cyber risk, and the SME coverage gap remains “alarmingly large,” with most smaller businesses bearing cyber risk on their own. For these enterprises, continuous compliance platforms are designed to reverse the cost curve of cybersecurity by continuously testing security controls so incidents are prevented rather than absorbed.
Looking ahead, Datavault AI sees cyber insurance as a route to market for verified security. The Company intends to pursue inclusion of continuous compliance verification in industry underwriting standardization efforts, including the common underwriting question set launched by CyberAcuView and the Center for Internet Security; to develop a certified-platform model in which installation of qualified, continuously tested systems streamlines insurability for small and mid-sized businesses; and to offer its DataScore and DataValue technologies as underwriting inputs that help insurers price coverage based on what an organization’s data is actually worth.
“A secure and reliable network drives everything we build at Datavault AI, and our cybersecurity investments deepen that foundation,” said Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI. “When attackers move in minutes, compliance cannot move in quarters. Continuous, AI-enabled compliance keeps the businesses that can least afford an incident secure and reliable, and it gives insurers a faster, more confident path to binding coverage. For Datavault AI, that is both a responsibility and a business growth strategy in a market expanding toward $240 billion.”
