CAT Risk Management & Modelling Summit

We asked the community to identify the most pressing challenges in catastrophe risk modelling. Here’s what you told us: 🔹 Competing interests and priorities: Optimizing for single-risk pricing vs. portfolio-wide strategies.  🔹 Adoption of model updates and timelines.  🔹 Data limitations: Gaps in transparency, documentation, and real-world calibration. As the risk landscape grows more complex, innovation and collaborative problem-solving are key to overcoming these challenges. Stay informed on the latest developments and strategies shaping the industry at the CAT Risk Management & Modelling Summit, 11-12 March 2025. www.catrisklondon.com #catrisklondon #catmodelling #catriskmanagement

98% of cyber claims come from businesses under $2B in revenue - and we're finally getting clarity on their risk profiles. A recent whitepaper from At-Bay and Guy Carpenter reveals how limited historical data on SMB security postures has left CAT models struggling to assess cyber risk accurately. In fact, this will form part of the session that Emma Ye and Jess Fung will present at our Summit in March. The problem? Current models are built around large enterprise profiles, but SMBs have completely different risk patterns. This mismatch makes it tough for insurers to deploy capital effectively in the SMB market. The solution? At-Bay's data shows how incorporating different security controls and approaches can transform our understanding of SMB cyber risk and reduce tail loss significantly.
