Multi-line global insurer to use cloud-native economic cyber risk modeling solution built to help insurers quantify cyber risk exposures

Guidewire Software, Inc.

Guidewire Cyence Risk Analytics will help enable Zurich to:

Enhance its underwriting precision and efficiency through data driven risk selection tools;
Quantify the financial impact of cyber risk at an individual company and portfolio level; and
Achieve improved growth opportunities due to the solution’s ability to deliver the insight needed to design new insurance products and go-to-market strategies.

Zurich Insurance Group and its regional entities are existing Guidewire customers of one or more InsurancePlatform products in 10 countries. “We are pleased that Zurich has extended their relationship with us through this selection,” said George Ng, chief data officer, Guidewire. “We are looking forward to working with them to infuse data analytics to help them achieve their strategic goals around growth and enterprise risk management.”
