This growth milestone was helped in part by the integration of Bitsight data—such as Bitsight Cloud Dispersion Analytics—into Moody's cyber solutions, together with the introduction of new Bitsight insurance datasets and product features, and growing relationships with new and existing carrier and broker partners.
Incorporating Bitsight Cloud Dispersion Analytics into Moody's Cyber Solutions Version 9 has helped Moody's deliver an end-to-end offering, spanning underwriting, portfolio optimization, and systemic exposure management, designed to help the industry better measure, price, and manage cyber risk.
Bitsight is also a founding member of Moody's Cyber Industry Steering Group (CISG). Formed in 2023 and led by Moody's, its group members include (re)insurers, brokers, and model vendors, working together to help develop the industry's understanding of cyber risk and support market growth.
Specifically, the CISG seeks to address constraints to growth in the cyber insurance marketplace, including a lack of standardization and uncertainties in light of the fast-moving and emerging nature of cyber risks. Working with the group's members and the wider industry, the CISG seeks to develop and support a long-term strategy that increases risk analytics transparency and advances industry understanding of cyber risk.
