[1:42] We're at RISKWORLD this week, but preparations are already underway for the RIMS ERM Conference 2025 on November 17th and 18th in Seattle, Washington. RIMS is accepting educational session submissions through May 20th. [2:00] The best submissions will address current and future challenges facing ERM practitioners as well as provide leading practices and concrete takeaways for a diverse audience of risk professionals from industries or organizations of varied sizes, disciplines, functions, and roles. [2:16] These include officers, leaders, managers, and students. The link to the submission form is in this episode's show notes. [2:26] Of course, mark your calendars for November 17th and 18th, and I'll be sure to alert you when registration opens. [2:34] RISKWORLD 2025 was one of the highlights of the 75th Anniversary of RIMS. We had a fantastic time here at McCormick Place in Chicago. We've got a lot of perspectives that we're going to cover! [2:47] Our first guest is the Responsible Use of Space Coordinator in the Risk Management Department of Thomson Rivers University in British Columbia and a Board Member of BC RIMS. She is making her RISKWORLD and RIMScast debut. [3:04] Audrey Trim is here to tell us about her experience as a first-time attendee and the 2025 Coast-to-Coast Risk Management Legacy Challenge, which was a big draw among the students at RIMS Canada 2024, and we expect that to possibly outdo itself in 2025. [3:24] You could sense the energy on the exhibit room floor on Day 1 of RISKWORLD. Let's get to it! [3:32] Interviews! Audrey Trim, welcome to RIMScast! [3:38] On RISKWORLD Day 1, Audrey enjoyed the Matha Stewart opening keynote. It was a great, inspirational show. Audrey has taken in some great sessions. She's looking forward to some educational seminars. This is Audrey's first RISKWORLD; it will not be her last! [4:57] Audrey explains her job title, Responsible Use of Space Coordinator. She oversees the non-academic space, among other things, on the Thomson Rivers University campus. She focuses on the best use of the space in a responsible way. [6:07] In earlier roles, Audrey worked on the 2014 Tim Hortons Brier in Kamloops and was an Event Coordinator for the City of Kamloops. She also coordinated a Buskers Festival. Then she fell into risk management, and she's loving it. [6:28] Audrey joined the Risk Group at Thomson Rivers three years ago. She became a BC RIMS member and now serves on the chapter board. Audrey is on the organizing committee of the Coast to Coast Risk Management Legacy Challenge, working with the SA RIMS Chapter. [7:01] This is the Second Annual Coast to Coast Risk Management Legacy Challenge for Canada. They will try to outdo the premier year. The Challenge involves students in teams of four from universities across Canada. [7:31] The teams get a case study and compete for the top two spots. The top two teams will get a chance to present their findings at the 2025 RIMS Canada Conference, which will be in Calgary, Alberta, from September 14th through 17th. [7:50] This year, Ken Letander, Case Study Champion, owner and Founder of Strat First Inc., a Canadian risk management firm, has chosen the case study topic: Reporting, Set Aside, Spend: Indigenous business joint venture, ethical dilemmas, and program integrity benefits. [8:15] It's going to be a big draw. Audrey hopes lots of teams apply. Ken Letander and others will judge the entries. [8:45] Audrey describes the passion and thought that went into the submissions to the 2024 Coast to Coast Challenge. The winning submission developed a tool to measure health equity across the province. The tool was given to the Fraser Health Authority to use day-to-day.  [9:35] The Coast to Coast Challenge is open to students across Canada. One of the members of the winning team last year changed her direction from business to risk management, because she had such a great experience at the conference and during the case study. [10:38] Apply to join the Coast to Coast Risk Management Legacy Challenge by May 24th. The case study will be assigned on May 30th. Each team submits a 10-page report. The judges will pick the top two teams to present at the RIMS Canada Conference 2025. [10:55] A link to the submissions page and contact information is in this episode's show notes. [11:16] Audrey's advice to anyone considering attending RISKWORLD 2026: “Know where you're going and how to get around the conference. Also, curate your sessions. There are a lot of options here. Pick out the ones that will have an impact on you and teach you something great.” [11:35] “There are so many networking opportunities. Take advantage of those. Get out there. Don't be afraid to try new things!” [11:39] RIMS Canada 2025 will be held from September 14th through 17th in Calgary. Registration will open soon. Audrey says, “Do it! The RIMS Canada Conference was a great opportunity to meet people and network!” [12:20] Plug Time! RIMS Webinars! We are back on May 22nd, with GRC, a TÜV SÜD Company, and their newest session, “Asset Valuations in 2025: Managing Tariffs, Inflation, and Rising Insurance Scrutiny”. [12:36] On June 5th, Zywave joins us to discuss “Today's Escalating Risk Trajectory: What's the Cause and What's the Solution?” [12:47] On June 17th, Origami Risk returns to present “Strategic Risk Financing in an Unstable Economy: Leveraging Technology for Efficiency and Cost Reduction”. This session was rescheduled from May. If you were already registered, you do not need to take any action. [13:03] More webinars will be announced soon and added to the RIMS.org/Webinars page. Go there to register. Registration is complimentary for RIMS members. [13:15] Spencer Educational Foundation's Grants program is starting soon. Spencer's goal to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals is achieved, in part, by its collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada. [13:34] Since 2010, Spencer has awarded over $3.3 million in General Grants to support over 130 student-centered experiential learning initiatives at universities and RMI non-profits. Spencer's 2026 application process is now open through July 30th, 2025. [13:55] General Grant awardees are typically notified at the end of October. Learn more about Spencer's General Grants through the Programs tab of SpencerEd.org. [14:05] On the 7th of October, the New Jersey RIMS Chapter will return to the beautiful Fiddler's Elbow Country Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, for their Annual Charity Golf/Pickleball Event. [14:18] Registration is open, and the event proceeds are used to fund the chapter's Spencer and Kids' Chance Scholarships. It was the filming location for the upcoming movie sequel, Happy Gilmore 2. For more information and to register, please NewJersey.RIMS.org. [14:42] My next guest was a panelist on several RIMS webinars. I was delighted to see her, so we could record this special segment live at RISKWORLD 2025. She is Lucy Straker. She is the focus group leader for U.S. Political Violence & Deadly Weapons Protection at Beazley. [15:00] We will talk about the trends she's seeing in her area of practice. [15:06] Lucy Straker, welcome to RIMScast!  [15:29] In 2016, Beazley looked at the landscape as it relates to terrorism and active assailant events and realized that traditional insurance options weren't providing sufficient solutions for its clients. Beazley created a product and a marketplace around active armed assailant events. [16:02] Lucy says what you see in the media is a fraction of what's happening. The media report the biggest and worst events. The risk is far higher than what is reported in the media. [16:31] Violence and shootings have increased. People are now more aware of the risk and are trying to respond to it through insurance products and legislation such as California's SB-553, with much more focus on preventing these events from occurring. [16:54] We want to avoid workplace violence before it becomes something. A lot of clients think they already have coverage for workplace violence in their traditional general liability insurance. [17:19] Recently, general liability carriers have put exclusions on their products for AMB, firearms, weapons, or the expected or intended injury exclusion found in a traditional ISA form. [17:38] Lucy says clients need to be aware that there is a potential coverage gap. A misconception among clients is that none of them think they will have a shooting. They're in denial. When there's a shooting, you hear, “I never thought it would happen to me!” [18:03] We're at a stage where gun violence is so prevalent in the U.S. that you can't argue you didn't think something was going to happen. You have to plan and prepare for the worst-case scenario. [18:28] Lucy advises risk leaders to buy coverage to help them cover the gap. They do not have to be alone. With most shootings, there is a warning sign. There is a trail. There are things to do to prevent it. [18:52] As a company, protocols have to be embedded from top-down and bottom-up. The company has to communicate every plan and procedure to its employees. Employees have to be trained and retrained. This is not something they're going to be thinking about every day. [19:09] You have to engage with your security team. You have to screen people. You have to screen the company. You have to create a culture of reporting. People are not going to report something unless they feel comfortable reporting it. You need to have anonymous reporting. [19:24] You need to instill a culture in your company of “See something, say something, report it.” It could be someone coming in and acting funny, or someone posting on social media, “I'm going to go carry out a shooting.” [19:46] More often than not, if someone's going down a path to violence, there are signs. They don't just wake up one morning and say they're going to go carry out a shooting. There are warning signs, and we want to catch them before it becomes something more material. [20:13] There are different lines of coverage and ways that coverage can respond, such as active assailant forms. Think about your business and other areas of your business you might not have thought about. Lucy mentions the United Health Care CEO being shot off the premises. [20:38] It was a targeted event. Were there warning signs online by Luigi, the perpetrator? How can you identify those threats? Make sure you have risk management and preventive measures in place. Think of the litigious landscape. We're now seeing more nuclear verdicts. [21:02] People always want someone to blame. You've got to make sure that, if something happens, you're doing right by the people to try and eliminate and reduce that liability on the back end. [21:15] RIMS Plug! The first of hopefully many RIMS Texas Regional Conferences will be held in San Antonio from August 4th through the 6th, 2025. This groundbreaking event is set to unite the Texas RIMS Chapters and welcome risk management professionals from around the world. [21:35] Guess what, folks! Registration is now open! The advance rate is available through May 16th. A link is in this episode's show notes. You can also visit the Events page of RIMS.org to register. We look forward to seeing you in Texas! [21:51] Let's Move to My Final Guest, François Beaume, The SVP for Risks and Insurance at Sonepar and the VP of AMRAE (The Association for Corporate Risk and Insurance Management)! [22:16] François Beaume is here to discuss the findings of the 17th Edition of the RMIS Panorama that AMRAE produces in association with and with the support of several groups, including RIMS. [22:36] François Beaume, welcome back to RIMScast! [23:02] AMRAE has the 17th Annual Edition of the RMIS Panorama available. In 17 years, the most significant evolution in risk management information system offerings has been the integration of advanced technologies like AI, automation, and data visualization. [23:57] These add-ons transform the software from a pure data management tool to a much more sophisticated platform that provides productive analyses and real-time risk monitoring to enhance decision-making capabilities and processes in a wider scope of topics. [24:40] Panorama is a collection of surveys. One survey focuses on vendors and one survey focuses on risk managers. François says there is still room for improvement in this solution. Progress has been made on flexibility and integration capability, with changes to come. [25:12] François sees a need to guarantee the success of such solutions, train users, and provide support to users to streamline how they use the system. Vendors receive feedback to provide customizable solutions, enhanced integration capability, training, user clubs, and more. [26:07] Interconnection is a key area of these tools. With APIs, modular architecture, and code-based solutions, more and more, these tools can connect with other risk management information systems. Some corporations have several risk management systems. [26:45] There are more and more interconnected features in these systems, to allow the risk manager and all the teams involved in the use of the risk management programatics to extract the most important benefits from the use of the tool. [27:04] ESG is a key area where this matters more and more. In Europe, there is a strong push for ESG compliance that requires corporations to gather and manage a huge volume of data that, when organized, is helpful to fuel the risk management processes. [27:33] The report evaluates 52 solutions in four functional categories, covering 17 functional modules and 14 technical modules to allow you to compare and assess the value of the solutions and if they are compatible with your company's technology for audit, risk, and more. [28:22] AMRAE is looking at the functional scope and the depth of the features that are offered. Is the scope well-covered? They are looking at technical capabilities; is it easy to integrate a solution? Is it scalable? How is the user interface? What can the admin customize? [28:45] AMRAE also gathers user feedback and testimonials from using a given tool in real life. That feedback provides robust data capabilities, seamless integration capabilities, and more user-friendly interfaces that will benefit the users of the tool. [29:36] RMIS vendors use AI in predictive analytics of historical data. Risk management is gathering and dealing with historical data linked to risk management topics to anticipate future risks. [29:59] Vendors use AI to automate workflows and streamline data from the field and validation from the stakeholders, reducing manual intervention and increasing confidence in the data quality. All data will be analyzed more easily with AI and integrated into interactive dashboards. [30:34] Dashboarding has improved over the past year to provide more interactive dashboards for better risk insights and risk decision-making processes. [31:10] François has advice for risk managers looking for RMIS software. His most valuable advice is to use the RMIS Panorama. It's freely available to anyone. You can get it in French or English. Besides the Panorama PDF, there is an online platform that allows customization. [31:48] The entire data set from the vendor and risk manager surveys is freely available online. You can customize your analytics of the data based on your use case. [32:32] François speaks of captives and the evolving reinsurance market. The market today is favorable toward captives, a powerful tool for improving corporate risk management and the way corporations are living with ESG. There is a strong push in Europe for captives. [33:22] François has seen the creation of about 20 captives in France. Corporations need captives in the risk management process and risk financing optimization.

Jordan Barker, climate risk specialist, Beazley, discusses how rising economic uncertainty is pushing sustainability lower on the corporate agenda, despite growing exposure to extreme weather and energy transition risks.

Todays' podcast is another really positive and uplifting meeting with someone right at the top of their game. Fresh from posting record annual profits of over $1.4bn on a top line that exceeded $6bn for the first time, it was perhaps understandable to find Adrian Cox, CEO of Beazley in excellent spirits. Whilst the market may be peaking in terms of pricing, speaking to Adrian it certainly doesn't seem to be peaking in terms of profitable opportunity, and much of this podcast is a dissection of global specialist insurance opportunities in the world and how a top-tier progressive underwriter like Beazley is positioning itself to make the most of them. Whether it be fast-emerging new classes of insurance relating to the decarbonisation of the economy, burgeoning new geopolitical risk and complexity, the rise of parametric covers, the application of artificial intelligence or indeed the fast-changing dynamics of how insurance is transacted, this encounter reveals positive new thinking and investment in abundance. Listen on for all this and more. I think if you listen closely enough you can hear a distillation of Beazley's distinctive culture coming through, not just in what Adrian is saying about the issues of the day, but in the way he is saying it. It seems that it is possible that rigour and discipline combined with worldly curiosity and a willingness to allow controlled experimentation in the understanding that not everything will go to plan can all form key parts of a successful business culture. This is another good episode to file away for when you're in need of a morale-booster. Adrian's enthusiasm and good humour are infectious and I think you'll enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoyed recording it   LINKS: We thank our naming sponsor AdvantageGo: https://www.advantagego.com

The Pirates offense came alive scoring 10 runs against Washington, but four errors. Colin wouldn't be surprised to see David Bednar back in the majors soon, but wonders if the Pirates don't want to mess with a good thing. Andrew McCutchen has been very good defensively and could see more time there.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: Pirates reporter Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette joined. Former Pirates beat writer and current MLB writer Travis Sawchik of The Score told us Bubba Chandler is arguably the top pitching prospect in the sport. He thinks a Skenes-Jones-Keller-Chandler-Harrington rotation could be very good. It's like having Patrick Mahomes on a rookie deal in Paul Skenes, but not building around it is a disappointment.

Carmen Mlodzinski used his sweeper a lot more and had more success working a second and third time through the lineup. Thomas Harrington pitched better than his debut and looked more comfortable attacking Cardinals hitters.

En un mundo digital en constante evolución, proteger los activos de tu empresa es esencial. En Digital Business hemos contado con Joel Duquenne, responsable de Cyber Services de Beazley en España, para que nos ayude a conocer las claves para fortalecer la seguridad de las compañías y saber responder eficazmente ante incidentes relacionados con la ciberseguridad. Coincidiendo con la jornada inaugural del Mobile World Congress de Barcelona, Duquenne destacaba que no en todas las compañías españolas es perceptible el compromiso con la ciberseguridad. “Si mañana atacan a una empresa grande española puede que vaya a ser mucho más mediático el impacto, pero la empresa va a sobrevivir. Pero las pequeñas y medianas empresas, por más que no vean ese riesgo de frente porque no parece ser algo palpable, tienen que entender que el impacto para ellas va a ser mucho mayor que para una empresa grande. Al final, las empresas pequeñas pueden ser la puerta de entrada a una gran empresa o a una gran administración”, aseguraba el experto en los micrófonos de Capital Intereconomía.

Matty Wray for Brekkie had the privilege to speak over the phone with Her Excellency, the Hon.

Joël Duquenne, responsable de Ciberservicios en Beazley España, que nos contará cuales son las principales ciberamenazas de 2025. Una de las principales es la explotación de vulnerabilidades para acceder a redes internas. Duquenne nos cuenta que esto funciona como un fallo en la cerradura, eso es lo que es la vulnerabilidad. En los últimos seis meses, nos dice, que se ha abusado de este fallo para entrar en los sistemas de seguridad. Una de las cosas más peligrosas de estos fallos de seguridad es que muchas veces no sabes que estás siendo atacado y no se sabe quién es el atacante. Otro de los problemas es que muchas veces son sistemas que no puedes monitorizar bien.

Today's episode is going to dive deep into the fascinating world of Employment Practices Liability, or EPL. This $4-5bn premium class of business is one that has grown into a standalone specialist line over the last 25 years and is one whose growth is almost guaranteed to continue into the future. I say that growth is almost guaranteed because its progress is almost wholly aligned with the parallel progress of society at large. As society develops and standards and expectations are raised in the workplace, so the consequences of failing to keep up with best practice will become steadily more severe for employers who fall behind. Legislation changes and over time tends to create new forms of liability for employers. At the same time unwritten societal norms evolve, almost always faster than the legislation can keep up. Behaviour that might have been acceptable or even encouraged 30 years ago may today be the cause of new grievances and complaints in the workplace. Similarly, as technological change accelerates and the way we work and where we work evolves, so new avenues for potential claims are being created at pace. Also as workforces age and become more diverse, once again the potential for conflicting views on what is and what is not acceptable conduct by colleagues, employees and bosses of differing ages and cultural backgrounds is increased. To sum up some liabilities are statutory and laid out in black and white, but others are becoming far more subjective; one person's idea of absolute impartiality may be another's idea of unjustifiable discrimination. Something many see as harmless teambuilding fun might be harassment when viewed from another perspective. And because many employers and industry sectors follow very similar HR systems, Employment practices claims are also potentially systemic in nature. This merely adds potential fuel to the fire. There's an awful lot going on here and this is clearly not a line of business that the unprepared should be dabbling in. That's why I have assembled a trio of experts from underwriting, claims and the legal profession to shed light from all angles on the core questions and key trends affecting this dynamic class. Bethany Greenwood (pictured top) is Beazley's Group Head of Specialty Risks and Kamal Chhibber (pictured middle) is its Claims Focus Group Lead for International Financial Lines. (By the way, Kamal Chhibber is known as Chhibbs by everyone, so this is how he is addressed throughout the podcast) These two senior insurance practitioners have been professionally assisted by Louise Bloomfield (pictured bottom), a partner at UK law firm DAC Beachcroft. The intention is that this podcast will be of value to anyone with an interest in this burgeoning casualty line and the fast-evolving cultural and legal territory that it inhabits. I've spoken to the experts, so you absolutely don't have to be one yourself.

Also discussed were operational issues within the ILS community, as well as what ILS manager operational excellence could look like. Watch the full video to hear our industry experts speaking about the evolution of analytics and models in the insurance-linked securities marketplace, as well as their thoughts on the topic of what operational excellence looks like.

Today in AI is a daily recap of the latest news and developments in the AI industry. See your story and want to be featured in an upcoming episode? Reach out at tonyphoang.com AI is poised to revolutionize the advertising industry by significantly enhancing efficiency and personalization. This technological shift mirrors the historical trend of tech companies leveraging advertisement revenue for growth and profitability. However, it also introduces considerable ethical, economic, and regulatory issues that need to be addressed. CES 2025 in Las Vegas will spotlight pivotal advancements in technology, with a focus on AI, smart cities, and next-generation GPUs. Notable presentations from major corporations include AMD's new GPU series, Toyota's Woven City, and Nvidia's latest AI breakthroughs. Samsung's pre-announced Odyssey 3D monitor, which converts 2D content to 3D without requiring glasses, represents a significant advancement for gaming and establishes Samsung as a key player in tech innovation, albeit at a high price and hardware cost. The AI industry is facing significant hurdles, such as the repeated delays in releasing top-tier models like xAI's Grok 3. These delays have shaken investor confidence and challenged market positioning, pressuring companies to find new strategies and regulatory approaches to improve AI capabilities responsibly. Nvidia has seen its market capitalization rise to $3.28 trillion due to the high demand for AI technologies and adept strategic planning, securing its position as the second most valuable public company after Apple. Nvidia's success is characterized by its innovative AI hardware and key acquisitions, despite facing geopolitical and regulatory obstacles. In the life sciences and pharmaceutical sectors, federated computing is fostering safer, collaborative machine learning while ensuring data privacy and compliance. Pioneers like Apheris are using this technology to boost R&D, speed up drug discovery, and enhance personalized treatments, although they confront issues in data standardization and infrastructure. Additionally, corporate leaders are grappling with advanced AI-driven phishing scams, prompting investments by firms like Beazley and eBay in sophisticated cybersecurity solutions to defend against these advanced threats. U.S. law schools are undergoing transformative changes driven by rising application rates, modifications in standardized testing, and the integration of AI into legal education. These changes are compounded by the Supreme Court's ban on affirmative action, impacting admissions and diversity in the field. Suffolk University Law Dean Andrew Perlman highlights the potential for generative AI (like Chat GPT) to significantly benefit legal research, accuracy, and writing, but underscores the importance of stringent testing, human oversight, and ethical standards to responsibly integrate AI into the legal domain.

In Episode 36 of "Talk to Me About A&E," Dan is joined by Colleen Palmer, Risk Manager for Beazley, and Lou Gale, GC for the architectural firm SCB, on the Standard of Care.  In Part I of this two-part series we begin the first question asked when a design professional is accused of negligence: What was the applicable standard of care - and was it met?   This discussion will include an overview of what every design professional should know when it comes to the standard of care, as well as how best to educate their clients and manage expectations through effective communication and documentation practices.  

Beazley is a carrier that is synonymous with expertise in the Cyber insurance line and today we are going to get a masterclass in the Cyber threat and how to deal with it from all angles. We're going to look at how that cyber threat is evolving, and how Cyber criminals are modifying their methods of attack in the face of an increasingly sophisticated line of defence from companies and Government agencies around the world. We'll look at the new threats coming in the age of Artificial Intelligence and - in a world where the CrowdStrike event has reminded us that not all threats necessarily need to be malicious to have a global impact – more mundane problems A decade ago cyber insurers may have partnered with third party service providers, such as threat monitors and security consultants. These days the best cyber insurers are bringing those services in-house and offering a holistic offering to their customers, one where everyone's interests are fully aligned to the best outcomes for all concerned. In this podcast we will see how this is fundamentally changing the traditional relationship between insurers and their customers. You don't have to be a Cyber expert to benefit from a listen to this podcast – indeed, as the Cyber world encroaches more and more on every aspect of our daily lives and companies become aware that Cyber threats directly affect the core of their businesses in all respects, being an avowed techie is less and less important. These days the best CEOs and CFOs are increasingly aware that a Cyber attack could be an existential threat to their company and that this is clearly not a matter to be left to the IT department to handle alone. To help us cover this subject from all possible angles, I have been lucky enough to interview four diverse experts from within the wider Beazley business: They are: Fran Donoso, Chief Technology Officer of Beazley Security, Sydonie Williams, Beazley's Cyber & Tech Focus Group Leader for the rest of the world, Raf Sanchez – Head of Cyber Services at Beazley Security and Cyber Security Consultant, Alex Creswell.    NOTES: I highly recommend you download Beazley's latest Cyber Tech Risk Report. It's called Spotlight On Cyber & Technology Risk 2024 - Resilience in a Game-changing environment  and it makes a perfect accompaniment to this podcast.

El Business Email Compromise es es una forma de ciberataque en la que delincuentes que engañan a ejecutivos y empleados desprevenidos para que envíen dinero o datos confidenciales a cuentas fraudulentas. Los atacantes logran esto utilizando una variedad de técnicas de phishing que manipulan a los usuarios para que transfieran dinero o datos. : Los atacantes consiguen acceso no autorizado a una cuenta de correo, por ejemplo, en un despacho de abogados. A continuación, envían por correo a los clientes una factura o un enlace para pagar en línea. La dirección de correo es legítima, pero la cuenta bancaria no lo es. En Capital Intereconomía hablamos con Joël Duquenne, Analista de riesgos cibernéticos de Beazley para identificar y prevenir el BEC en nuestras compañías.

Today's podcast is all about the insurance of political risk and violence and we are going to come at this subject from all angles. This episode is intended to be an all-round masterclass for anyone with an interest in these fascinating and fast-growing specialist lines of business. Is the world a riskier place and are risks going to remain insurable? And where is most of the new demand of the coming decades going to be coming from? All is examined in detail. Much has been made of the exceptional number of elections taking place in global democracies in 2024 as another possible source of political complications and conflict. Africa has also been highlighted as a potentially huge new source of demand, driven by the global transition to net zero carbon emissions and this goal's need for the rare earth metals that are to be found in abundance in many of its Southern and Eastern States. But it's no secret that many of Africa's most mineral-rich nations with the largest development potential are also places where political stability can be in short supply. For this reason, I talk to Lara Wolfe, Senior Sub-Saharan Africa Risk Analyst at risk consultancy BMI, which is part of the Fitch Group. (Pictured Top) This market sounds like the ideal territory for brave underwriters to be operating in and this is where the expertise of Roddy Barnett (Pictured bottom), Head of Political Risks and Trade Credit at Beazley is invaluable. Finally, with the help of Beazley's Head of Political Risk and Violence Claims, Alex Hill, (pictured middle) we'll learn how the political risk product actually works on the. I am very pleased with how this first thematic documentary-style podcast has turned out – I do hope you enjoy it and find it useful. NOTES: Here's the link to the Navigating political risk in an era of heightened global tensions report: https://www.beazley.com/en-US/news-and-events/geopolitical-risk-snapshot-2024 There's a great summary, but I highly recommend downloading and reading it in its entirety.

El 74% de las empresas en España ha sufrido al menos un ciberataque en los últimos dos años, según datos de Kaspersky. Una de las principales razones es la escasez de personal cualificado en seguridad informática y la falta de conciencia a la hora de invertir en este ámbito, en las pymes. Francisco Antonio Alcaide, suscriptor de negocio pyme de Beazley, y Mónica Argelagues, corredora de seguros de Jori Armengol, nos desvelan las claves para protegerse frente a estas nuevas amenazas crecientes que afectan a la pérdida de beneficios.

This panel discussion was the fourth session of the day at our Artemis ILS NYC 2024 conference, held in New York on February 9th 2024. ILS NYC 2024 was Artemis' largest insurance-linked securities (ILS) conference to-date, with over 410 registered attendees enjoying insightful debates from our expert speakers, as well as valuable networking opportunities throughout the day. Attendees came from more than 30 countries across the globe to hear thought-provoking insights from insurance-linked securities (ILS) market leaders, all under the theme of "Growing into the higher return environment." This fourth podcast from our ILS NYC 2024 conference features a panel discussion focused on cyber risk and looks ahead to the potential for cyber catastrophe bond activity to grow, titled: Cyber cat bonds: After a successful start, where next? The panel discussion was moderated by Joanna Syroka, Director of New Markets, Fermat Capital Management. She was joined by: Kyle Freeman, Head of ILS, AXIS Capital; Brittany Baker, VP, Solution Consulting, Cybercube; Richard Pennay, CEO of Insurance-Linked Securities, Aon Securities; and Richard Gray, Head of Third Party Capital, Beazley. With the first 144A cyber catastrophe bonds issued towards the end of 2023, this conference was the first international event where some of those directly involved in these breakthrough deals got to discuss them and gave their outlook for future cyber cat bond issuance. The panellists explored the important considerations that had helped those first 144A cyber cat bonds be successful and how investor interest was cultivated for them. They went on to explore the future potential of the cyber catastrophe bond market, asking what needs to happen to keep it growing, what the future demand for protection from the cat bond market could look like and how much capital support there is expected to be. Listen to the full podcast episode of this cyber catastrophe bond focused panel discussion for unique insights into those first cyber cat bond deals, and what speakers expect for this new ILS market segment in the future.

Most of us will have conversations with our children about how to act appropriately around individuals that have differences. In this episode, guest Bethany Beazley gives us practical ways to make these conversations more intentional. Bethany's six year old son has a rare disorder that has caused him to have some significant disabilities. This led  Bethany to become more vocal about normalizing disabilities. She even wrote a book entitled, William Tries Again, in which she shows a boy with disabilities having a similar struggle that we all face.

Wesley is CEO and Co-Founder of Sola Insurance based in Atlanta, GA. Wesley comes from a tech background and jumped into the insurance industry at a flood insurance startup where he was tasked with working on the data side with private and FEMA flood maps. Realizing this data was telling us exactly where the damage is, Wesley became obsessed with how data can be used to automatically trigger an insurance claim payout. Sola is starting with supplemental tornado coverage for homeowners but plans to expand into every type of natural disaster to help people cover their deductible and immediate expenses. Sola has already been approved in 15 states as the first ever admitted personal lines parametric product, is fully reinsured through Lloyd's of London, and has partnered with hundreds of insurance agencies across the Midwest and Southeast. Highlights from the Show Sola Insurance is a new class of financial insurance products that helps homeowners cover their deductible and immediate expenses after natural disaster events Sola is developing new products that pay period faster and more transparently so they can get back on their feet Right after a disaster, there's an immediate need for assistance while you wait for a traditional claim to get handled (even if it's handled quickly) Deductibles have increased across many lines of insurance, with homeowners choosing $2,500 deductibles twice as frequently just over four years ago, which is more than most Americans have saved for emergencies Many homeowners policies or coverages within them have significantly higher deductibles, like for wind or quake The pressure to increase deductibles is only getting worse, as discussed in this WSJ article we mentioned The cost of capital and providing insurance for carriers is going up, with 30% increases in reinsurance The initial product is a Tornado parametric coverage, which is the first time a startup has launched an admitted parametric product They have capacity from Beazley and fronting from Spinnaker They've just had their first two claims after the Hendersonville tornado outside of Nashville, Tennessee, and paid both within 60 hours of the tornado touching down They see this as complementary to existing coverage, and have seen a lot of interest and support from independent agents who are looking for ways to create coverage to fill in for increasing deductibles to keep insurance affordable With the original HO policy developed in the 1950s, Sola is trying to create solutions for what risk looks like today Their next priority is Wind & Hail, which is segmented out on traditional HO policies and is a frequent cause of loss Wesley started Sola in the Global Insurance Accelerator in 2021 and is young, along with his co-founders, and they haven't let that stop them or slow them down in an industry where tenure and tradition continue to carry weight Wesley credits a two things with their success despite their age: An innate sense of curiosity, which helped him to really get into the issues at hand and stay open to learning People can't deny the work that you've done, so the team has ensured they keep delivering and proving themselves, balancing the need to spend time building relationships with delivering tangible milestones and results This episode is brought to you by The Future of Insurance book series (future-of-insurance.com) from Bryan Falchuk.

As CEO of Beazley, Adrian Cox runs one of our sector's fastest-moving and best-rated insurance businesses and so any time I can get him behind a microphone and talking to me is time well spent. In the past year this firm has pioneered the placement of cyber cat bonds, undergone a major restructure with the formation of a US excess and surplus lines insurance company and made the most of the new opportunities being thrown up in North American property by more than doubling its underwriting volume there. In this podcast we talk about all these and an awful lot more. Adrian is excellent company and exudes the kind of confidence that senior brokers complain that they sometimes find lacking in the modern insurance and reinsurance market. In our talk we get a clear sense of Adrian's insurance philosophy Here is someone with a clear way of understanding the insurance world and the confidence and authority to go and execute when he feels the time is right. Given the rare series of opportunities the global market is presenting brave and decisive underwriters in 2024, I can highly recommend a detailed listen. NOTES Adrian mentions Lloyd's and now Beazley itself as being ‘A-fifteen' in size. This a reference to AM Best's fifteen-point Financial Size Category scale. XV is the largest size, denoting Capital and Surplus of $2bn or more.
