Founded in 2017, our mission is to solve cyber risk and create a safer digital economy where everyone can thrive. We understand that in today's interconnected world, technology is the biggest driving force for change, but it also brings vast amounts of digital risk. Many organizations, especially small and midsize businesses, aren't always aware of how pervasive these risks have become or may lack the expertise to prepare for them. That's where we come in. We combine comprehensive insurance coverage with proactive cybersecurity tools to help businesses manage and mitigate these digital risks. Our Active Insurance model is built on the idea that proactive security measures significantly reduce the frequency and severity of claims – and our data proves it.

Our approach is holistic. We don't just offer insurance; we partner with our policyholders to actively protect them. Our Active Risk Platform provides automated security alerts, threat intelligence, expert guidance, and cybersecurity tools to help businesses worldwide remain resilient against cyber attacks. We leverage innovative technology and proprietary data, scanning billions of IP addresses monthly and analyzing signals from the dark web to identify emerging threats. This allows us to provide personalized risk assessments and actionable recommendations. We're proud that our policyholders experience significantly fewer claims compared to the broader cyber market. If an incident does occur, our dedicated in-house claims and incident response teams are there to help businesses recover quickly and get back to normal operations. We're not just about responding after a crisis; we're about preventing it in the first place. We're passionate about protecting the unprotected and are continuously innovating to stay ahead of the ever-evolving cyber threat landscape. We're a global team, headquartered in San Francisco, with a distributed workforce collaborating to make the digital world safer for everyone.
