Google's Actuarial Team Quantifies Risk for Insurance Purchasing Decisions

Google has an internal actuarial team that quantifies risk to inform insurance purchasing decisions within the company. This team uses risk quantification to assess and understand the risk landscape within Google and translates that into insurance policies. While it is uncommon for companies outside of Google to have their own actuarial teams, Google's comprehensive approach allows for better risk assessment and insurance policy development. The team focuses on cyber insurance and factors in emerging risks such as ransomware to adapt coverage and pricing. The evolving market of cyber insurance involves more scrutiny, longer audit reports, and stricter qualification criteria for policyholders.
