Does this show it's come to pass at all?
It's possible, but the only evidence we have is that insurance companies want to avoid the payout, not that poor practices impacted premiums at all. Given what I've seen from security audits of the past, particularly when influenced by non-security professionals (such as the accountants in this scenario, both the insurers and the insured), I have little faith that if insurance companies dictate the practices that we'll get actual useful security increases, but plenty of extra bureaucratic hoops that will result in the same "productivity vs security _risk_" dilemma we have now, except the CBA changes to "is the hit to our productivity worth this hoop compared to the cost our lawyers would involve to prove this hoop was unnecessary or unrelated times the likelihood that it comes up"
