New #insurtech from acrisure and tulco -- the digital brokerage. Not sure how AI fits into it, but makes sense for a brokerage to go digital rather than be replaced by new players!

[Matt Antoszyk @Mantoszyk]

@ben_grosser...Deepfakes....interesting to consider for At-Bay's rep harm.

[Kelsey Farish @KelseyFarish]

Insurance is a form of risk management. In the #deepfake context, falsehoods or the threat of falsehoods can have serious financial implications. Is "deepfake insurance" the next generation of cyber insurance?! If so, how do we put a price on privacy and reputation? 🤔 #Insurtech

[Matt Antoszyk @Mantoszyk]

“We do hear from small business owners who prefer to work with an independent agent..."

how about that!

"... in most cases, it’s a preexisting relationship that the customer appreciates and finds valuable”

but only people who already had an agent (apparently)

[Hydrogen @HydrogenAPI]

Wow, amazing news today. Congrats to @AssuranceIQ and @Prudential on the deal! This shows we are at an inflection point in #Insurtech and #financialwellness. Consumers are demanding more data driven decisions in #fintech. Use Hydrogen to make it happen. https://t.co/uPWHLq40Uj

tldr: Warren Buffet: “The success of the auto companies getting into the insurance business is probably as likely as the success of the insurance companies getting into the auto business. I’d bet against any company in the auto business [getting into insurance]" #AutoInsurance

#Tesla and #insurance - everything you need to know https://t.co/wAdwATA8v6

[Matt Antoszyk @Mantoszyk]

A nice overview! One category left out are those improving the lives of brokers and agents, like Indio Technologies or Broker Buddha. Also a critical part of the #insurtech ecosystem.

[insurify @insurify]

[Matt Antoszyk @Mantoszyk]

Is this an important promise (at the moment). Are other insurers already selling personal data? What's that market look like? #insurance, #data

[Zurich Insurance @Zurich]

"We will never sell your personal data" is one of the promises we are making to our customers as part of Zurich's data commitment we are announcing today. Read more: https://t.co/rBjEXMQfdl #WePromise #Sustainability

Do people want a toothbrush app? Do I need a toothbrush app?? I'm glad someone is out there testing that market for me, I suppose.

Agents may soon need to worry less about which #Insurtech is going to take their job and more about picking the winning to startup to partner with - more and more looking for a piece of the action with agents

@InsuranceBizUS @Zurich Note - the Mondelez action is a dispute over a non-Cyber policy... I understand ambiguous war exclusions are still present in cyber policies, but it is vital to point out that the policy under dispute was policy with a primary coverage intent outside of cyber.

Semiconductor companies have in some cases 15k global suppliers!! That’s a cybersecurity nightmare, especially given that they are strategic target.
