Data and information management

Despite the massive increase in the volume of cyberthreats over the last two years, defense strategies are working better, according to a report from ThreatMetrix.

As the number of connected devices increases, so will the vulnerabilities that they are laced with, not to mention the potential impact these could have if exploited.

Insurer's chief data officer says the goal was to increase scalability and automation of mission-critical information.

Organizations are producing larger amounts of information than ever before and there needs to be efficient ways to categorize and interpret it all. That’s where artificical intelligence comes in.

The technology has the potential to effect the industry's data usage, risk modeling practices and core systems, according to Novarica.

As the first member of tech company Roost's Home Telematics Consortium, the insurer will distribute kits to customers, in return for data that will help enhance pricing accuracy and loss mitigation.

A increasingly digital – and ever-warmer – world is having an impact on how insurance companies identify and price risk.

Though many insurers still feel they are behind in innovation, all are taking steps to build capabilities.

Carriers are looking to expand their addressable market for risk management services, and innovative solutions are key.

Effective managers are analytical leaders who are adaptable and possess systematic and methodological ways to achieve results.

Many agents and brokers understand that a robust analytics strategy is crucial, and are responding.

Agreements give carriers access to aerial imaging and distracted driving prevention technology.

American International Group cites reinsurer's CAT modeling and analytics as reasons it's looking to make the acquisition.

The insurance industry needs to “dare to think big” and make more sweeping transformations, says author and futurist Chunka Mui.

The pair's goal is to boost the insurance industry’s adoption of telematics and the Internet of Things.

The rise of serverless computing, a bigger balance between cloud and local systems, and renewable energy adoption are among the priorities for a growing number of organizations.

It's important to fill positions with digital natives who understand the connected world, CEOs from AIG, EMC and Argo Group said in panel discussion.

But carriers are looking for these technologies to prove themselves before widespread deployment, says Novarica study.

Driving this transition will be the growing number of Internet of Things devices and the rapid maturation of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies.

The life insurer has built a foundation of data to power next-generation partnerships, says chief digital officer Greg Baxter.
