Två veckor efter den stora Crowdstrike-incidenten börjar konsekvenserna utkristalliseras. Enligt en intervju som nyhetsbyrån Reuters gjorde med cyberförsäkringsföretaget Parametrix har de globala förlusterna landat på uppskattningsvis 15 miljarder dollar. Crowdstrikes aktie har samtidigt fortsatt att falla, och aktieägare har nu gått summan för att stämma IT-säkerhetsjätten för att ha undanhållit sina bristfälliga testrutiner. I veckans avsnitt av Bli säker-podden följer Peter och Nikka upp vad som har hänt på Crowdstrike-fronten. Nikka presenterar också tre potentiella lösningar som Microsoft skulle kunna vidta för att inte liknande incidenter ska kunna inträffa igen. Podduon går igenom hur Apple och Google har löst situationen för sina operativsystem och varför det inte nödvändigtvis är gångbara lösningar för Microsofts del.

Innovation. We keep reading about it. We keep getting harangued at conferences to do more of it. We also keep getting told that Innovation is really hard to do in insurance. But is it? After all, innovation used to happen perfectly naturally and organically in the past. It's only in the last decade that we have started to take the business of innovation seriously and given it its own department and made people responsible and accountable for making it happen. What have we learnt so far? Meet today's guest, Tom Hoad. Tom is Head of Innovation at Tokio Marine Kiln (TMK) and has been in the role since late 2015. That's a lot of accumulated knowledge about how to go about implanting new ideas into insurance. Tom is bursting with energy and enthusiasm and this podcast packs a huge amount of learning into a very short time. We start the conversation by running through one of TMK's latest product launches in the clean energy space. This is a really great sounding idea and is what brought Tom to my attention again recently and reminded me to get him on the show. But soon the discussion develops into a really broad one that harnesses all that Tom has learnt about the art and science of bringing exciting new insurance products to market. It's full of mind-expanding and very useful bits of knowledge that Tom has learnt from six-and-a-half years at the bleeding edge. Anyone who wants to improve their innovation hit rate will find this a fascinating and really useful listen. NOTES I let BAU slip through the Abbreviation filter. This stands for Business As Usual. We talk at the beginning about the Altelium battery warranty insurance deal. Here is the announcement in full We also mention Parametrix cloud outage insurance. The Episode with George Beattie of Beazley is Number 117. I'd recommend listening to these two episodes in conjunction with each other.

According to Gartner, end-user spending on cloud computing is set for a 21% hike this year with total spending set to exceed $480 billion. So it's no surprise that global companies - like yours and ours - are becoming increasingly reliant on the cloud. But like any technology, the cloud isnot immune to downtime, so more dependency means that businesses need more ways to mitigate potential losses including revenue, customers and productivity.This is exactly the problem that Neta Rozy, alongside her two co-founders, set out to solve when they built Parametrix, the first-ever insurance company focusing on cloud downtime.As CTO, Neta tells me why downtime insurance is not the same thing as cyber insurance, what struggles they faced in getting the company started, and the complexity of the math involved in determining policy pricing.

Between supporting innovation in the water sector and helping engineers learn how to share their stories with utilities, Jen Murphy from Parametrix believes integrity and technical competency paired together help build trust between utilities and engineers. 

Hello and welcome to the latest episode of the Leadership in Insurance Podcast where this week we are lucky enough to be joined by Neta Rozy, CTO, Parametrix.Parametrix is the insurtech start-up that offers financial protection against Cloud downtime, their hassle-free fast-paying policies protect you from financial losses when those services go down, enabling you to quickly get back to business.We had a great conversation this week where we discussed a wide range of topics such as: Creating downtime insurance Cloud space is the 2nd or 3rd largest expense for a business - why isn't this covered? The team dynamic being both friends and co-founders How do you go about creating a new product?

Neta was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area (Silicon Valley), moved to Israel to enlist in the IDF as a lone soldier, and then moved back to the US to work as a software engineer and team lead. What grounded her in Israel was meeting the now co-founders of Parametrix. The company’s mission is to ensure that companies with mission-critical services in the cloud are fully protected from the financial damages of downtime caused by SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS such as cloud, eCommerce, payments, CRM, and CDN service providers. 

Covid-19 has led to insurance companies ramping up the speed of their digital evolution, but relying on third-party services like a cloud provider creates new external risks that need insuring.   Parametrix Insurance was launched 18 months ago to protect businesses from the hidden costs of going offline. As well as attracting strong interest from brokers, the company also had a parametric product named after them in the Lloyd’s Lab. Co-founder and CTO Neta Rozy joins Matthew on Episode 115 to discuss the company’s rapid growth and how they’re using technology to monitor thousands of digital services worldwide. Talking points include: Tailoring solutions for large and small businesses Defining payouts without physical losses Why brokers love parametric products What to look for in potential partners Standing out and scaling at speed Keep track of everything we are up to at instech.london and sign up to our newsletter for a fresh view on the world every Wednesday morning.

Back when Sam was part of Civil FX (now a division of Parametrix), he and his team started working on a totally different kind of project than the ones they were already used to — which they mentioned in episode #4 of this podcast. This project was the Simulator for Active Distracted Driver (SADD), in which they aimed at “using fortnight to save lives”. Today's show is an update on the status of this project, and the challenges the COVID pandemic posed to its iteration. Essentially, SADD can be described as a simulator that teaches the public in general the dangers of distracted driving. However, since one of the most common causes of car accidents reported to be related to distracted driving is cell phone usage, this virtual reality tool can be said to focus on teaching younger drivers the consequences of their distracted actions. While there are many examples of virtual reality being used to spread the word about this problem, the goal with SADD is to create something that is active and that people could “play with”, really visualizing themselves in the high-risk situation. Listen to the episode to find out how the simulator works, the problems Sam and his team faced when trying to get the simulator out and test it with people due to COVID-related restrictions, and what the future of it may look like, given that Vision is making progress towards a 2021 launch.  The simulator is already available on Sidequest for free.

On a previous episode of the podcast, Sam shared a presentation he gave alongside Nick Johnson, the chief of project management at the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), that focused on the future of 3D visualization tools and how they can be used to make public outreach more engaging and actually helps all stakeholders understand an engineering project, from commercial to infrastructure. Today, Sam shares the audio format of a solo presentation he gave in Las Vegas about the main aspects of 3D visualization and how these aspects haven changed over years, as well as his expectations for the roles each of these elements will play in 3D visualization software of the future. Back in 2015, when he found out his previous company, Civil FX (now a division of Parametrix), were among the winning companies to work on Project Neon, he had the opportunity to put into practice his idea of 3D visualization tools working similarly to game engines. Working with different professionals in the game industry, as well as hiring artists and developers, Project Neon really set the stage for this industry-changing idea of improving the capabilities of current visualization software. Explaining aspects such as interactivity, accessibility, quality, as well as phasing and traffic, he walks us through the different steps of how we can make better visualization tools by improving each of these individual elements. In the future, will it be necessary to have powerful and heavy computer setups to use the enhanced visualization tools? How can we make it more accessible to those who do not have such equipment but are directly impacted by the project? Will these tools run on every device, from mobile phones to laptops? Maybe even on the web? Tune in and learn about the future of 3D visualization!

Last week, we covered the official announcement of the acquisition of Civil FX by Parametrix. Today, Sam explains a bit further not only the reason why he accepted their offer, and specifically why he did it now, in the midst of a pandemic and economic uncertainty, but also some other aspects that immediately come up as a consequence of this merger. Will Civil FX change the way in which it's been operating and the services it's been providing? What are the basics of Sam's new company, called Beyond CAD? What happens to Vision, the software that has just been chosen as a recipient of an Epic Megagrant and that will serve as a better 3D Visualization tool for engineers? Does it mean the end of this podcast, in which we talk to professionals using 3D Visualization, public outreach and VR to make civil engineering look good?
