Coalition, an active Insurance provider designed to prevent digital risk, released the all-new Active Cyber Risk Model, a framework for understanding cyber risk aggregation that provides an ongoing view into organizations’ cyber risks and identifies preventive measures to protect against new threats.

The model – which simulates how a singular cyber risk event can trigger a chain reaction resulting in substantial economic losses – illustrated the possibility of nearly $30 billion in total insured losses if an aggregated cyber event occurred.

In a simulation modeled against a sampling of 5,000 American companies, Coalition found that a one-in-250-year cyber event could cost more than $370 million in losses. When extrapolated across the entire U.S. economy, a catastrophic cyber event could cost an estimated $29.8 billion in total losses, according to Coalition’s research.

The Active Cyber Risk Model leverages Coalition’s technology platform that actively monitors both the internet and the ever-changing landscape of vulnerabilities and attack vectors across hundreds of thousands of companies.

Coalition monitors the digital technologies and third-party vendors that its policyholders use to inform its model. These shared technology dependencies, which Coalition calls aggregation technologies and vendors, create aggregate cyber risk. Coalition uses its aggregation technologies and vendors data to track and measure the interconnectedness of technologies and identify where cyber risk aggregates. Going forward, Coalition will use its model to determine which companies in its portfolio could be impacted by a cyber event, according to a company press release.
