2023 has seen political violence events across the world, including wars between Russia and Ukraine and between Israel and Hamas. These events have solidified geopolitical risk as a top concern for the insurance and risk management communities.

Understanding political violence is complex and requires granular data to get a true picture of any event as it unfolds; from what weapons were used to the motivation of a protest. This information can also be used to create a view of future risk - but where can you access these insights?

In this Webinar, InsTech’s Ali Smedley will be joined by S&P Global Market Intelligence:

Paul McGrath, Product Director for 'Foresight'
Hugo Foster, Associate Director, Open-source Intelligence

The discussion will cover how S&P Global Market Intelligence gathers and presents security incident intelligence and how organisations can use this data to better understand future risk.

At InsTech we are great enthusiasts for creating and sharing information about the companies we know. We gather our information through interviews, our events, the reports we release and by spending a lot of time talking to the people creating and buying this new technology. Yet with all the content being shared in the world today it can be hard to understand what is being read and what is being ignored. 

The team at Slipcase, and Alex Hearn himself, have been an active part of our community since both companies started over five years ago. We are delighted to see that the analytics that Slipcase has built into its platform are providing data driven insights on what topics really matter to insurers and others.

We will be discussing the key findings of the report, delving into the clear content gap between what insurers and brokers want to know, and the quality and volume of content available from industry experts. This was particularly notable with the limited information about major incidents and losses. 

Join us at 2pm UK time on 21 June to catch up with the latest themes and insights in insurance focused digital content creation.
