How connected technology is reshaping prevention-first insurance

Insurance has long relied on a reactive operating model built around assessing exposure, pricing risk and responding once damage has already occurred.

Insurance professionals often focus on headline risks such as fire, theft or extreme weather when assessing potential losses.

This emerging threat is hard to detect, often preventable, and has the potential to cause significant financial and operational disruption if left unaddressed.
