Backed by French insurer AXA, the insurtech start-up leverages advanced cyber security and data science expertise to offer insurers with the ability to quickly and accurately assess cyber risk.
Furthermore, the digital firm offers existing and potential insureds with actionable mitigation recommendations that considerably boosts their cyber risk posture.
After analysing a range of data sources that are directly connected to the vast majority of cyber breaches, Sayata provides insurers and brokers with extensive cyber risk visibility, which is currently non-existent for SMB underwriting.
The solution, powered by AI-based algorithms, delivers insurers and SMBs with data-driven insights that are precisely related to actual cyber losses.
