I was joined recently by more than 100 insurance industry professionals at Lloyd’s Library to hear the latest about global terrorism and explore some use cases to apply current information related to terrorism and political violence risk. Event attendees represented 50 different companies and demonstrated that terrorism is still very much a topic of interest to the industry. And while we are not in a position to eliminate the existential risk of terrorism, there are at least some things we can do to understand, avoid, and manage it from an insurance perspective.

SpatialKey is pleased to offer its insurance clients access to market-leading political violence data from IHS Markit. IHS Markit provides comprehensive location-specific risk scores and in-depth intelligence, which is immediately available to underwriters and exposure managers within SpatialKey’s geospatial insurance analyticsplatform.
