WTW Signs Global Deal With Zurich to Deploy Radar Software

Willis Towers Watson has signed a new global agreement with Zurich Insurance Company to roll out its Radar rating and analytics software across Zurich's worldwide retail lines. The deal expands an existing partnership through which WTW had already deployed Radar across Zurich's primary retail lines in several individual country markets. WTW managing director Georgy Matov said Zurich had chosen Radar as its global pricing solution, and Zurich retail transformation group head Soledad Mune cited the platform's market-leading pricing, global adoption and ease of scaling through a centralised tech infrastructure. Radar, WTW's end-to-end insurance software platform spanning pricing, underwriting and claims for personal and commercial lines insurers, is used by more than 500 insurers worldwide and forms part of WTW's Insurance Consulting and Technology business. The agreement follows other recent WTW moves, including the July launch of KwantSure, an embedded digital insurance programme with Kayna and Kwant, and the June acquisition of Redefind, a web-based platform offering insurance products for cryptocurrency and digital assets.

BOXX Insurance Adds Affirmative Coverage for AI and Deepfake Events

BOXX Insurance, a global cyber insurtech part of Zurich Insurance Group, announced affirmative coverage for AI and deepfake related events for social engineering and security failures within its commercial policy offering, Cyberboxx Business. The new endorsement eliminates ambiguity around AI-driven incidents, with 86% of US business leaders reporting at least one AI-related incident in the past year and 81% of Canadian businesses that experienced fraud also facing an AI-enabled attack. The coverage is paired with First Party Each and Every Loss reinstatements, which keep the policy aggregate limit of liability available throughout the policy period after each cyber incident. Erik Tifft, Global Head of Underwriting at BOXX Insurance, said the updated policy language addresses real risks businesses face in the age of AI, including threat actors exploiting trusted relationships to obtain credentials or misdirect payments without a breach.
