The company's technology processes this raw data to create a unique Cyber Profile that shows key cyber risk data for any organization, irrespective of size and location. ThreatInformer's data shows the client what's at risk, the business context, and the level of protection. The company's speed and low friction aim to support automation of broker's, underwriter's, and reinsurer's existing processes and technologies.

The Reinsurance Angle

When there's no single source of data on a portfolio's risks buying reinsurance becomes complicated and time-consuming. ThreatInformer provides reinsurers with granular data on each insured in a cedant's portfolio to show what was insured, the business context, and each insured's protection. The company's data helps reinsurers work with ceding companies to get the right product, protection, and pricing for risk transfer. The traditional attributes of Geography, Industry, and Turnover give reinsurers limited insight for managing and modeling risk accumulation. However, with ThreatInformer, insurers can see the data on factors that are relevant to Cyber risk accumulation including system location, software usage, cloud vendors, DNS, SSL certificates, domain registrars and email providers. They don't need to guess or make assumptions anymore, as they can use data that's a concrete foundation for models, track accumulation, and get a preferred spread of risk. Vendor and third party risk models are a black box with no indication of how the data is collected and processed, the assumptions used, and no control for the end user. ThreatInformer puts reinsurers in control of cyber risk data, customizing it to their sources. The company puts insurers back in control and restores trust in risk models. The level of data provided by ThreatInformer also makes it possible to run Realistic Disaster Scenarios when combined with an insurer's financial data.
