SecondSight, a leader in digital risk management and cyber
insurance solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with
Optiv, the premier global provider of cybersecurity services. This
collaboration marks a shift from the traditional approach by
seamlessly incorporating Optiv’s expert cybersecurity services into
the SecondSight Vertical AI platform through a state-of-the-art
recommendation system, tailored to enhance the experience for
companies, brokers, and underwriters. This integration provides
businesses with personalized advice on bolstering their
cybersecurity defenses to secure optimal insurance coverage.
By leveraging Optiv's extensive cybersecurity expertise,
SecondSight's recommendation engine delivers customized guidance
aligned with each business's unique risk profile. This strategy
streamlines the cybersecurity and insurance journey for companies,
enabling proactive measures to safeguard against cyber threats.
This direct and streamlined methodology signifies a major shift
from the segmented and often reactive risk management strategies of
the past, paving the way for a comprehensive path to manage and
mitigate cyber risks efficiently.
Reuben Vandeventer, CEO of SecondSight, emphasized the
groundbreaking nature of the partnership. "Teaming up with Optiv
dramatically enhances our capabilities by integrating their
unmatched cybersecurity expertise directly into our user
experience. This integration not only eases the process of
strengthening cybersecurity for businesses but also facilitates
timely, precise responses to their unique needs throughout their
insurance journey. We believe this partnership will disrupt the
conventional incident response narrative," Vandeventer said.
As the market maker, SecondSight is changing how insurance
carriers predict and manage emerging risks within their portfolios.
Through our Vertical AI system, we are transforming what would be
considered comprehensive solutions in traditional contexts into
components of our larger ecosystem. Insurers can now effectively
address incidents and proactively pinpoint and mitigate potential
threats with unprecedented efficiency. Our approach to the cyber
threat landscape turns these components into a cohesive strategy,
providing actionable insights and immediate access to remediation
services.
Dara Gibson of Optiv commented on the strategic impact of the
collaboration. "Our partnership with SecondSight marks a
significant move for Optiv. By embedding our cybersecurity
solutions within the insurance workflow through SecondSight’s
platform, we're doing more than just enhancing security postures;
we're strategically aligning our services with a critical growth
domain. This collaboration underscores our commitment to evolving
alongside the insurance industry’s demands, providing businesses
with premier risk management and cybersecurity support. It
represents a proactive step towards fostering a more secure
operational framework for companies."
As companies globally face an upsurge in cyber threats, the
synergy between SecondSight and Optiv delivers an all-encompassing
solution that meets both cybersecurity and cyber insurance needs.
This alliance marks a significant leap forward in equipping
businesses with the necessary tools and support to excel in the
digital age.
Looking forward, Vandeventer envisions the SecondSight and Optiv
partnership as the beginning of a broader initiative to redefine
digital risk management and cyber insurance solutions. "Optiv is
just the initial step in our expanding suite of digital risk
management solutions. This strategic expansion empowers companies,
brokers, and carriers to confidently manage digital risk,"
Vandeventer stated. As SecondSight continues to innovate and extend
its ecosystem, driven by our vision to forge a more efficient and
sustainable digital risk market, the industry can anticipate
further enhancements, broader partnerships, and a transformation
that bridges the gap between insurance markets and end-customer
risk management. This highlights a path of continuous evolution and

growth and adaptation in a landscape we're committed to
improving.
