Cyber risk is a dynamic, man-made peril that is evolving rapidly. The motivations of cyber attackers, their methods and the technological vulnerabilities they exploit are constantly in flux. Developing a robust, defensible view of cyber risk and allowing underwriters to properly select, differentiate, and price risk is a challenging task.

In September 2018, we first launched *Account Manager.* The launch was significant because it was the world's first cyber risk scoring application tailored to underwriters that provided unique inside-out data and necessary outside-in data, while existing solutions only focused on limited external information.

We've maintained a regular cadence of minor model updates to *Account Manager* over the past two years. Now, we’re updating the model releasing Version 2 (v2) as it is vital that our model reflects the current threat landscape. The main driver behind the update of *Account Manager* was around the provision of timely and transparent cyber risk insights for underwriters. This update gave us the opportunity to leverage best-in-class data and to allow our multidisciplinary analytics team to revamp the scoring algorithm underlying the product.

This new model update is centered around two major improvements that are essential: (1) to bolster our end users' trust in timely scores and signals and (2) to enable *Account Manager* to consume ever more company-specific data in order to continue to increase the relevance of scores.

*Account Manager v2* now relies on a broader collection of signals, which will allow underwriters to access the most recent data available for risk selection and pricing.

The *Account Manager* Security Score methodology has been revamped to ensure it is anchored around a transparent and data-driven framework centered around cyber security controls. We’ve incorporated company-specific outside-in data into our scoring algorithm along with micro-segment based inside-out data which provides a 360-degree view of risk. In addition, we have also enhanced inside-out signals through the increase in resolution of micro-segment data.

Will there be an *Account Manager* Version 3? Absolutely, we're looking at continuous improvements for both the underlying cyber risk scoring engines and the application itself. We expect a regular cadence of updates based on market needs over the coming years.

Full details of the update can be found on our website at www.cybcube.com.
