Welcome to Insider On Air, our multimedia hub showcasing Insurance Insider webinars with the biggest names in the (re)insurance industry.Team. Ask questions and take part in polling.

Insurers are well versed in managing natural catastrophe risk, but are they ready to manage a cyber catastrophe? As the world continues to become more digitally connected, the risk of a cyber catastrophe event is increasing. Unlike most natural catastrophes, a cyber attack has the potential to spread beyond a specific location and may also grow over time.

A scenario such as a 1 in 200-year Wiperware attack (a malware-based attack designed to permanently delete or corrupt data on targeted systems) impacting the U.S. would see losses exceeding US$14 billion, surpassing the current global cyber insurance premium, according to Moody’s Insurance Solutions Insured Exposure Database. How are insurers preparing to manage such an event?

Join Insurance Insider, in partnership with the Insurance Solutions team at Moody’s, for a free webinar, 10:30 EDT/3:30 BST, July 11, as we explore what insurers should be doing to prepare for a cyber catastrophe.

Discussion questions include:
--Possible scenarios: What could a cyber catastrophe look like?
--How are cyber models evolving?
--How to accelerate growth in the cyber insurance market?
--What role can cyber ILS play?
--How to manage challenges, including potential capacity constraints with incident response?
--Would a cyber catastrophe threaten the solvency of the cyber insurance market?
--How would the cyber war exclusion impact the market?

Cyber Catastrophe: Are You Prepared?

The use of Catastrophe Models has become commonplace for assessing portfolio risk, but their use at the point of underwriting has remained a challenge in residential and commercial lines. In this segment, there is a fine balancing act between use of robust analytics and the need to provide near instant quotes to customers. With property insurers facing increasing pressure from the growing frequency and severity of natural catastrophes, some insurers have stopped writing new business altogether while others have seen an opportunity to grow and expand, even in challenging territories.

Data can help underwriters to better select and price risks. The most advanced organizations are embedding cat-model losses at the front of the process, refining location decisions based upon a property’s risk characteristics and introducing consistency across the insurance value chain. 

Join Insurance Insider, in partnership with Moody’s RMS, for a free webinar 10:30 ET/3:30 BT on June 27, as we take a deep dive into how Location Intelligence is improving underwriting even in catastrophe-prone areas.

June 1 Reinsurance Renewals: Earth, Wind and Fire

Climate change has the potential to reshape the property insurance market. States and regions that have not been typically viewed as natural catastrophe prone are now facing additional perils, from the increase in floods in Iowa to wildfires in Colorado. This shift is impacting both “acute” risks, such as flood, hurricanes, and wildfires, and “chronic” risks, like rising sea levels, drought and water stress, and periods of extreme heat and cold. 

Winners in the insurance industry in the next five to 10 years will be those who are better able to harness climate data to better understand shifting risks. They’ll have the potential to be nimbler and more targeted in their underwriting and risk selection. 

Join Insurance Insider, in partnership with S&P Global Market Intelligence, for a free webinar, 10:30 ET/3:30 BST on May 29  as we explore how the insurance industry can better use climate data to manage their property portfolios.

Discussion Questions Include:

Harnessing Climate Data to Sharpen Risk Selection and Underwriting

Insurers and brokers are facing increasing regulatory pressure when reaching out to consumers. From robocalls or texts to solicit customers to showing favoritism by recommending specific car repair services, brokers and insurers must carefully follow regulatory requirements or face potential consequences, including fines and class-action lawsuits. 
 
Regulatory scrutiny is growing. Last year, the Federal Communications Commission issued a record $300 million fine against a company that specialized in auto warranty calls. More than 1,500 lawsuits were filed under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act in 2023, which allow consumers to sue for robocalls, or robotexts, with fines between $500 and $1,500 per call or text.
 
Some insurers and brokers are harnessing technology to ensure their call centers are making compliant calls, and to help guide sales and claims agents to have more productive calls.
 
Join Insurance Insider, in partnership with Gryphon.ai, for a free webinar, 11:00 ET, 16:00 BST on May 22, as we explore how technology can help brokers and insurers meet their compliance needs while improving efficiency. 
 
Discussion questions include:
--Overview of current regulatory environment
--What is driving record fines and the growth of class-action lawsuits?
--What are the potential pitfalls that brokers and insurers face when contacting consumers?
--How technology can help prevent illegal calls
--How AI can help guide agents’ conversations
--How managers can gain efficiency and ensure quality control through AI innovation 
--How AI-powered technology can give sales and claims agents more time to focus on their cases 
--What to consider when turning to AI and technology to improve consumer communication

Navigating the Uncharted: Insurance in the Metaverse

Excess & Surplus lines for homeowners was once viewed primarily as providing coverage for homes in risky coastal areas, where hurricanes are a major peril. That perception is shifting, as more homeowners inland are tapping the E&S market for cover.
The admitted market has struggled in recent years, facing increased natural catastrophe losses and an uptick in home values. While there are admitted carriers focused on high net worth homes, there is a gap between the traditional admitted market and where the high net worth specialists play. 
E&S writers are seeing increased demand for homeowners insurance, both for houses away from the coast and for coastal properties looking for coverage excluding wind, which is often written by the states’ insurer of last resort. 
Join us, in partnership with Markel, for a free webinar 10:30 ET/3:30 BT on April 18 as we explore the challenges and opportunities facing the E&S homeowners market.
Discussion questions:
--Overview of the homeowners insurance market in the U.S. and what is driving growth in the E&S space
--Why E&S homeowner insurance underwriters are diversifying their portfolios away from coastal risks
--How insurers are handling perils including severe convective storms, winter storms, water damage, wildfire
--Opportunities and challenges from underwriting outside of coastal properties
--How underwriters can use rate and forms to underwrite those opportunities successfully
--Underwriting tools including bi-peril rating, insurance scoring, 3rd party data 
--How technology can continue to improve underwriting inland and help insurers to manage aggregate exposures.

Thinking Outside the Coast: The Growth of E&S Homeowners Insurance Inland

The renewable energy market was valued at $856 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow to $2 trillion by 2030. This rapid growth comes with risks: Solar, wind and battery energy storage projects are often located in rural areas, prone to the natural elements, including conditions ripe for the rapid spread of wildfire. 

These projects can face liability from sparking wildfires plus property damage from wildfires started onsite or elsewhere. 

Join us for a free webinar, in partnership with AXIS, 11:00 ET/16:00  BT, on April 17, as we explore the challenges and opportunities renewable energy projects face when mitigating wildfire risks.

Greener, Safer, Stronger: How Renewable Energy is Fireproofing its Future

Insured losses from wildfires have doubled over the last 30 years, reflecting the impact of climate change and the increased risk as more people move to wildfire-prone areas. 

From 2013 to 2022, wildfires caused $98.87bn in economic losses globally and $69.92bn in insured losses (adjusted to USD 2023), according to Swiss Re. Wildfires are a global peril, resulting in $4 billion of insured losses globally for the first three quarters of 2023, according to Aon.

California is the epicenter of wildfire risk, and some major insurers have left the state entirely as a result. But new technologies, including AI, are helping insurers with risk selection and underwriting, and enabling them to underwrite wildfire risk, even in areas that had been thought to be uninsurable.

 Join Insurance Insider, in partnership with EY, for a free webinar, 11:30 am ET/15:30 GMT on March 27, as we explore how insurers are evolving to manage wildfire risk.

Discussion questions:
--Overview: What is driving the increase in wildfire losses?

Facing and Overcoming Challenges with Collateralized Reinsurance

A new era of uncertainty and instability has raised the profile of geopolitical risk in the insurance sector. Social inequality and populist tendencies, as well as economic disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic have already caused violent unrest around the world. 

Now the war in Ukraine, conflict between Israel-Hamas, plus strained relations between China and Taiwan all have the potential to intensify and involve other states.

In the face of potential economic dislocation and multiplying risk factors, insurers and reinsurers must reassess the potential for resultant underwriting losses and investment impairments.

In our upcoming webinar, hosted in partnership with S&P Global Market Intelligence, panellists will discuss how elevated geopolitical risk could impact insurers - and what they can do to manage it.

• What’s the potential economic fallout from today’s flashpoints, and what’s the global geopolitical risk outlook going into 2024? 
• Underwriting risk: could PC insurers be vulnerable to ‘non-affirmative’ losses resulting from political violence e.g. BI/CBI/supply chain, liability? Do policies need to be clearer on the scope of coverage?
• Investment risk: what are the implications of intensified geopolitical risk for the financial markets, e.g. to do with inflation and/or interest rates? How should insurers’ investment strategy factor in geopolitical risk?
• Can insurers improve their geopolitical risk management practices? Do insurers have sufficient knowhow? Can geopolitical risk exposure be modelled?

Property (Re)insurance Dynamics for 2024: What Lies Ahead?

As catastrophe modeling has grown increasingly more sophisticated and able deliver more granular information, the use cases for the model insights has grown dramatically. Initially cat models primarily helped quantify a portfolio’s aggregate exposure to tail events. Now, the models enable underwriters to utilize location level output to aid in individual risk selection and pricing. 

Portfolio managers can use event response data to garner near real-time insights into events as they’re unfolding and rapidly communicate expected results to various stakeholders. The ever increasingly complex terms and conditions meant to create highly informed risk transfer can also be more accurately captured with today’s models without the need for rough adjustments and workarounds.

How can re/insurers best manage cat modeling uncertainty? Join Insurance Insider, in partnership with Moody’s RMS, for a free webinar, 10:30 ET/3:30 BT, Nov. 15, as we take a deep dive into what re/insurers are thinking about cat modeling.
Discussion questions include:

• Are we entering a new age of catastrophe modeling?
• How can re/insurers better understand cat modeling?
• How to measure uncertainties in outputs?
• How simulations result in better performance?
• How catastrophe models are helping to underwrite properties in hazard-prone areas?
• How underwriters can use modeling to make better decisions even in states where they’re not allowed to use models for pricing?
