Here is one (partial) estimate of the higher cyber costs.  I am not sure how many incidents they have in mind, but this seems to me quite realistic as an estimate but also rather modest relative to the Angst I am seeing?  Not quite “a Gilda Radner thing,” but if nothing else shows the usefulness of trying to be concrete.  Here is an estimate of $100 billion extra for the UK annually.  That is estimated as a twenty percent increase in UK cyber costs.  Also strikes me as plausible.  Brad Carson uses AI agents (hurrah!) to produce estimates.  He thinks…
