CPD Webinar - The “Internet of Things”: tools to assess & manage risk in insurance

The Internet of Things (IoT) offers significant tools to assess & manage risk in insurance but remains under-utilised. 

This webinar will explore how the IoT’s untapped potential could reshape your approach to commercial property insurance.  It equally applies to other physical assets - such as marine or fine art.  It includes practical examples alongside insights into newer underwriting models such as parametric and digital twins, and gives consideration to cybersecurity risks. 

Who is it for?

• Brokers advising clients on insurance needs for commercial property
• Underwriters assessing risks & pricing policies with real-time data and newer UW models
• Risk Managers implementing IoT solutions to reduce property risks
• Claims Handlers evaluating claims, using IoT data for faster data-led resolution

Learning Objectives

By the end of the webinar, you will understand:

• What is the Internet of Things (IoT) & why IoT data is a must for commercial insurance
• How to use IoT data to enhance risk assessment, pricing, and claims processes
• Examples of effective uses of IoT to mitigate risk and improve operational efficiency
• How IoT underpins innovative underwriting, including parametric and digital twins
• The cybersecurity risks of IoT - practical mitigation strategies for insurers and clients
• Why IoT is underutilised in insurance - with actionable next steps
