When Coalition acquired IoT Search Engine BinaryEdge in 2019, they gained access to a substantial set of cybersecurity data that would supercharge their underwriting practice.
In this episode, former BinaryEdge CEO and current VP of Research at Coalition Tiago Henriques provides a glimpse into Coalition's unique data-driven approach to underwriting and risk profiling. As somebody who straddles the worlds of insurance and cybersecurity, Tiago also gives a unique perspective on topics such as unpaid cyber claims, common cybersecurity mistakes, catastrophic risks, and more.
You'll learn:
1. How a better understanding of risk gives you an advantage when entering new lines of business
2. Tiago's opinion on unpaid claims as somebody who lives in both cybersecurity & Insurance
3. Why one-off scans aren't enough to understand a company's cyber risk
4. How Coalition determines a company cyber risk profile by analyzing from a hacker's perspective
5. Why your catastrophe modeling firm might not be painting the most accurate picture
