BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Cyber insurance platform offers quotes based on domain name

Reprints
Domain names

CFC Underwriting Ltd. launched a cyber insurance platform last week that offers coverage quotes for small and medium-sized businesses based only on the submission of a domain name, with other details being obtained automatically via publicly available information.

The London-based managing general agent said the cyber insurance platform also allows brokers to adjust quotes, including limits and deductibles, without involving an underwriter.

The platform offers $5 million in coverage limits and CFC expects it will automatically offer rates for 90% of submissions for businesses with up to $50 million in annual revenue. 

In addition, the system provides brokers with benchmarking information, including average limit purchased and common claims based on a policyholder’s size, industry and location, CFC said in a statement.

“By answering one simple question, brokers will be able to instantly access a set of bespoke quote options based on their preset preferences, create brand new quote variations using a set of intuitive sliders, and bind right away,” Graeme Newman, chief innovation officer at CFC, said in the statement.
