Arceo’s AI, a leading provider of end-to-end cyber risk analysis and insurance platforms, today announced that it has secured $37 million in total funding. The funding was led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and the Founders Fund with the participation of CRV and UL Ventures. In addition, Hemant Shah, founder and former CEO of RMS, the world’s leading disaster risk modeling company, joined Arceo’s Board of Directors. Funding follows the patenting of Arceo’s ability to combine cyber security data with innovative underwriting strategies. Founded in 2016, the company enables insurance providers to scale up their cyber business line using curated safety data for accuracy, advanced risk assessment, and workflow automation for efficiency.
Cyber risks are continually changing, and the insurance market must respond in kind to policies to address the growing threat of cyber attacks. Arceo has developed a critical ability to translate raw safety data into insurance knowledge. This is accomplished by analyzing the safety posture of an individual enterprise as well as the macro cyber risk trends. With deep experience in cyber security and insurance, Arceo keeps these translations up to date in a dynamic threat environment.
Although global security spending is projected to exceed $124 billion, continued high-profile breaches show that no amount of security technology spending will guarantee protection. Insurance is becoming a key part of the safety stacks of many companies This demand must underpin a renewed approach to cyber risk management that includes innovative, data-driven insurance policies to effectively transfer this fluid risk
